+== Background ==
+{{quote|(Line 1.)-Just as the full-moon, destitute of spots, the destroyer of the darkness, was produced from the ocean, so from him there was born a son, the majestic one, named the illustrious [[Harsha-gupta|Harshagupta]], who,--raining down a terrible flight of arrows from (his) firm bow that was bent with ease at the befitting proper time, (and) being gazed upon with copious tears by (his enemies) who, averse to the abode of the goddess of fortune being with (him, her) own lord, were stupified (at being unable to prevent it),-was (always) displaying a glorious triumph, the written record as it were of terrible contests, in the guise of the rows of the knots of hard callous places, caused by wounds from many weapons, on (his) chest.<br>
+(L. 3.)-His son was the illustrious [[Jivita-gupta|Jîvitagupta]], the best among kings, who was a very-cold-rayed (moon) to (wither) the waterlilies that were the countenances of the women of (his) proud enemies. The very terrible scorching fever (of fear) left not (his) haughty foes, even though they stood on seaside shores that were cool with the flowing and ebbing currents of water, (and) were covered with the branches of plantain-trees severed by the trunks of elephants roaming through the lofty groves of palmyra-palms; (or) even though they stood on (that) mountain ([[Himâlaya]]) which is cold with the water of the rushing and waving torrents full of snow. Even still his superhuman deeds are regarded with astonishment by all mankind, like the leap of (the monkey Hanumat) the son of the Wind from the side of (the mountain) Kôshavardhana.}}

+According to the [[Aphsad inscription of Ādityasena]] (seventh century) Kumaragupta (fourth King of the dynasty) was contemporary to the [[Maukhari]] King [[Ishanavarman]]. It is probable the first three [[Later Gupta dynasty|Later Gupta]] Kings were contemporary to the first three [[Maukhari]] Kings. It is further proven that the second King (Adityavarman) married Harshaguptā, the sister of the second [[Later Gupta dynasty|Later Gupta]] King (Harshagupta).{{sfnp|Goyal|1967|p=[https://archive.org/details/goyal-1967/page/364/mode/1up. 367]}}
