Detailed Solution

The title of Maharajadhiraja was adopted by Samudragupta. It was first taken up by Chandragupta I, Samudragupta's father. These titles usually reflected the majestic grandeur of the kings. The titles also demonstrated that the Gupta dynasty eventually evolved into a prominent dynasty, as the great grandfather held the title of Maharaja, but Samudragupta held the title of Maharajadhiraja. The proof for these titles comes from the Allahabad prashasti, which mentions the emperor Samudragupta's ancestors.
