Which statement correctly describes the nature of Kumaragupta I's rule?
His reign focused mainly on consolidation and prosperity of the Gupta realm.
Kumaragupta I was a Gupta emperor who succeeded Chandragupta II and ruled for a long period during the peak of the Gupta age.
His reign was largely peaceful and prosperous, and he is credited with maintaining and consolidating the vast empire inherited from his predecessors rather than undertaking large fresh conquests.
He also founded the Nalanda University and issued a large number of coins, reflecting the stability and prosperity of the realm; the serious threats from the Hunas came mainly towards the very end of his rule.
Hence, his reign focused mainly on consolidation and prosperity of the Gupta realm.
