Detailed Solution

The father of Samudragupta was Chandragupta I. The information about Samudragupta and his ancestors was known from the prashasti he issued during his ruling. The prashasti also mentioned the mother of Samudragupta, who was Kumara Devi. She belonged to Lichchavi Ghana, which was a Republic at that time. It also mentions that Chandragupta I was the first ruler of the Gupta dynasty to adopt Maharajadhiraja's titles, which Samudragupta also took up as his title.
Similarly, this inscription also talks about the other important figures in the genealogy of Samudragupta as Chandragupta 2, etc. Thus Prashasti helped in constructing the history of the Gupta Empire.
