Gupta Succession: Who Followed Chandragupta I
The question asks about the ruler who ascended the Gupta throne immediately after Chandragupta I.
Historical records confirm that Samudragupta was the son of Chandragupta I and succeeded him to the throne. He significantly expanded the Gupta Empire.
Let's look at the options:
- Brahmagupta was a mathematician and astronomer, not a Gupta emperor.
- Sri Gupta is considered the founder of the Gupta Dynasty, ruling much earlier.
- Samudragupta correctly identifies the successor of Chandragupta I.
- Shudraka was a playwright, not associated with the Gupta rulers.
Therefore, Samudragupta ascended the Gupta throne after Chandragupta I.
