Detailed Solution

The given statement is False.
Harshacharita was a biography of Harshvardhan, written by Banabatta, the court poet of Harshvardhan. However, Kalidasa was one of the famous Court poets of Chandragupta II, an emperor of the Gupta Empire. We can know the history of the Gupta Empire from inscriptions and coins, but most of the information about Harshavardhana was taken up from their biography written on him. In this biography, written nearly 1400 years ago, Banabhatta talks about a detailed account of Harsha and his ruling. According to this biography, Harsha was not the first son of his father, but he was able to capture the Empire because his father and elder son died in Battles.
The correct statement is that Harshacharita was a biography of Harshvardhan.
