Detailed Solution

Samudragupta's mother Kumara devi, belonged to the Lichchhavi gana. During the Mahajanapada period, it was a republic. The ancestry of Samudragupta has been described in the Allahabad inscription, which is a prashasti written by Samudragupta's court poet, Harishena. It also includes his great-grandfather's and father's names and the titles they had taken. For example, Samudragupta's father, Chandragupta, held the magnificent title of Maharajadhiraja, which Samudragupta also adopted. The inscription also details Samudragupta's territorial expansion and conquest of the Indian subcontinent. Aside from this pillar, other evidence in the shape of coins provided information about the Gupta Empire.
