By which title was Chandragupta II popularly known in historical sources?
Vikramaditya
Chandragupta II, one of the most powerful rulers of the Gupta dynasty, expanded the empire significantly and presided over a period often called the Golden Age of India.
He is popularly remembered by the title Vikramaditya, meaning "sun of valour," which reflects his military successes, including his victory over the Western Kshatrapas.
Harshavardhana and Devanampriya were titles/names associated with other rulers, and Ashoka was a Mauryan emperor, so none of them apply to Chandragupta II.
