Chandragupta II adopted which title after his victory over the Sakas?

Last Updated:

After defeating the Western Kshatrapas or Sakas, Chandragupta II is associated with the title Shakari, meaning enemy or destroyer of the Sakas. A reliable answer must connect the named ruler, author, work, institution, title or event with the correct chronology and source. Kaviraja is associated with Samudragupta, Mahendraditya with Kumaragupta I, and Kramaditya with Skandagupta. Competitive examinations often produce distractors by shifting a genuine author to the wrong work, assigning a later traveller to an earlier ruler, confusing a royal title with another king, or turning a qualified historical statement into an absolute claim.
