3. Gupta Era (320-550)
A. The rise and fall:
Master Yi Jing to India around the year 672, after HT Tsang over 40 years, and have heard the title of king 'Maharaja Sri-Gupta' kingdom of Magadha to build a hospital near Mrigasikhavana increase of about '500 years ago ' for the pilgrim monk from China's shelter. The following scholars are not comparing India with history, and they said that only surmise Tsing follow strictly religious sense. But today it has been demonstrated that the Gupta era based on the Bhagwatam. Line starting from the origin Gupta Bengal, according to the notes in the tower "Varendra Mrigashihavan Stupa" on a hill in Nepal, and then became emir of origin Prayaga, East Uttar Pradesh, Allahabad is now in TL 240. 
The emir is the first Sri-Gupta between TL 240-280. The bronze inscriptions in Poona (now near Bombay) by Princess Prabhavati Gupta (daughter of Chandragupta-II onwards) record that is Sri-Gupta of Gupta Adhiraja. King's successor Ghatotkacha (280-319) inscriptions which have access performance is also great king (Maharaja). By the Third Dynasty, about 320 years of King Chandra Gupta I (320-335) based on marriage with princess line Kumaradevi Licchavi origin Magadha (Ma-Jay-Da) has made further territorial expansion; proclaimed Emperor (maharajadhiraja). Since then the new Gupta became glorious, and historical record of the Indian Gupta from here only. 
Chandragupta I Kumardevi and on the gold coin of King Samudragupta is cast. The flip side is Goddess Ambika (Durga).
When King Samudra Gupta (335-375), the successor to the 360 ​​years the capital was moved to the U.S. market (Pataliputra), Patna away now. Using data he was in Allahabad inscriptions recorded and signed by Harisena the University of Xuanzang. Under this reign the territory also extended from the Ganges basin to the west, central and east India along the island after acquiring more than 20 other states. Many neighboring emirates to tribute to be protected, as far take Sri Lanka (Sinhala or Sri Lanka). After doing a totalitarian king Samudragupta Ashwamedha Yagna sacrifice horses, a rare tradition, and for circulating gold coinage on which to engrave the war and musical instruments had been used in court. The gold coinage, Samudra Gupta dynasty style was modeled on the earlier of the Kushan Empire. Kushan era has molded standard 8 gram gold coin called Dinara, derived from the Roman denarii coins Aurius. 
Cam King Samudragupta is broken. The downside: Prosperity Goddess Shri-Laxmi.
Under his reign, his Brahmin teacher Mrs. (BLM) prevailed because his worship of Vishnu (Vaishnava). So PG relics, except Nalanda and Sanchi, according to the French ambassador Show Bodh Gaya (Bodhgaya), Kapilavastu (Kapilavastu) and sentence-thi-na (Kusinagara) was abandoned. In the mid-fourth century, monks from far more to admire Bodhgaya no sheltered place; king of Ceylon is Sri-Meghavarman was carrying supplies for the angel to bestow the king Samudra Gupta to get a temple built in Bodhi Gaya ('Bodh-Gaya ") and was approved.
King Rama Gupta (375-380) at the position was short-lived. Media uses 'Devichandraguptam' said that in the land of Malwa expedition beat the king was defeated and was Satrap Saka king (descendants of Scythian people) captured. To be released on the king agreed to take given the Saka Satrap Dhruvadevi queen. This makes people angry boys ask to masquerade queen until the enemy camp to be killed immediately Saka Satrap, merger Malwa and still retain the reputation of Gupta. Therefore he was named emperor Shakari or Sahasanka (The killer was Shakas). Of course the people we support and queen to King Rama Gupta grateful to be abandoned, ceded the throne to you.
Based on the rock in Mathura and Bilsad beer, people pretty much know details about the king Chandra Gupta II (380-414) . After ascending the throne, he killed the emir of Gujarat, Saurashtra and Bengal to bring more open borders. He also allied with the Naga origin through marriage with Princess Kubernaga; and with the origin Vakataka (Deccan plains) is the daughter by him to the king Rudrasena Prabhavati Gupta II in 390. Main princess gave Prabhavati Gupta recorded in Poona copper inscription above including his family genealogy. Military victory was his greatest captured Saurashtra origin (now Maharashtra) next to the Arabian Sea, the maritime trade expanded west India. 
He was honored as the Solar Hero (Vikramaditya: Sun of Valour), because he was the king that most of the Gupta era, but he also praised the achievements of literature, academic rather than military , by his reign, all branches of academic literature, especially mysticism and the Veda Dharma, medicine, animal medicine, mathematics and astronomy of India has a brighter leap in history books after praising the renaissance of Indian literature. His reign was also more brilliant by the aid group famous writer 9 (Navaratna); of which Kalidasa's immortal Indian literature. Addition of the title Vikramaditya, his reign is known more Narendrachandra, Simhachandra, Narendra Simha, Vikrama devarajas, Devagupta and Devasri.

At the end of his reign have Pushyamitra rebel forces in the Narmada valley threatened court. 
Kumara Gupta dynasty gold coin I (414-455) was lower with the king tiger. The downside Nimbate goddess figure, symbolizing the Ganges.
By the time King SKANDA Gupta (455-467) , according to the inscriptions and Bhitari Bilsad, is considered the last king of the Gupta era splendor, as though he Pushyamitra military defeat, but barbarians Hung (Hephthalites - that use Indian call is Huna) from northwestern constantly threatened to spill down into the U.S. market. According to inscriptions Kahaum he has killed hundreds emirates (?) Checkered Hungary was defeated in the valley he Aryavarta 467 years. He is also very tolerant of many religions.

On the way Mihirakula had marched to the rising anger PG believers, who brutally massacred and had not escaped destruction PHV first Nalanda. [Heras, A Note on the Excavations at Nalanda and its History, JBBRAS , II, NS, p. 215-216.] But then Narasimha Gupta troops counterattacked and defeated the Xiongnu barbarians Mihirakula and chased all the way to the Shakala (Sialkot, Kashmir today).
The invasion of Hungary it was quickly taken to place the Gupta dynasty collapsed was accompanied by a massive infiltration of the tribal people from Central Asia border, plus the Indian economy was severely degraded due to loss of control the Silk Road, the trade route lifeline. It should be noted here that the people of Hungarian descent escaped slave capital of Kashmir chronic gradually adapt to society and a new culture to later distortions into the same Rajputs.
His successor King Kumara Gupta II (476-477) achievements not saved anything. Three-time reigning dynasty of the latter is too short a total of only about 10 years to use rare materials. And from there the lineage of the throne will not be recorded clearly. Land of Magadha on the wane and internal disturbances occurring on forever. According to inscriptions, the king Apshad in Adityasena king Kumara Gupta II, then king Damodara Gupta defeated the rebels Isanavarman - a valiant general had chased the army Andhra, Sulika, Hung GAUDA and barbarians, were honored on Haraha inscriptions.

B. Legacy of the Gupta era: 
Nowadays people know much about this era based on ancient coins, inscriptions, to long, and the works of ancient Sanskrit text. But Indian territorial reign is not large by the time the Maurya and Gupta line lasted 200 years, but was generally considered by historians as the golden age of classical Indian country.

Then later king Narasimha Gupta has ceded the throne to which the monks at Nalanda do. BLM and PG teachers seem to be under this blend. However, Indian society during the Gupta period initially still heavy on discipline and order in accordance with the class distinction of Ba-la-subject teachers.
Under Gupta Sanskrit literature reached its peak; PG literature is often written in Pali previously been translated into Sanskrit; twenty-eight of the monastic caves at Ajanta frescoes with creative masterpieces were created flexibility. Ajanta is located in western Maharashtra, a part of the kingdom Vakataka allied with Gupta. Art and literature also culminate PG under this through the art oven Mathura and Sarnath reputation, and from there spread to the islands of Southeast Asia and Burma, Siam-la, Cards foot Greek, Laos and Linyi. Temple architecture, sculpture and metallurgy reached a very high art.
