Chandragupta II married his daughter Prabhavati Gupta to which Vakataka ruler?

Last Updated:

Chandragupta II’s daughter Prabhavati Gupta married the Vakataka ruler Rudrasena II, creating an important dynastic alliance in the Deccan. This question belongs to the Gupta and post-Gupta phase, a period reconstructed through inscriptions, coins, monuments, literary works, scientific texts and accounts of foreign travellers. A reliable answer must connect the named ruler, author, work, institution, title or event with the correct chronology and source. The Gupta age is often described as a classical or golden age because of important achievements in Sanskrit literature, temple architecture, sculpture, astronomy and mathematics, but the label should not conceal regional diversity or social and political change. Pravarasena I and Vindhyashakti were earlier Vakataka figures, while Harishena was a much later Vakataka ruler.
