b) 1, 2, and 3
c) 1, 2, and 4
d) 2, 3, and 4
Answer »Answer: (a)
Explanation: Sri Gupta and Ghatotkacha were called Maharajas. Much information was not available about their rule. The next ruler was Chandragupta I who strengthened his position by a matrimonial alliance with the Licchavis.
He married Kumaradevi, a princess of that family. This added to the power and prestige of the Gupta family.
Question : 3
Who among the following was the mother of Prabhavati Gupta?
a) Kuberanaga
b) Dhruvadevi
c) None of these
d) Kumardevi
Answer »Answer: (a)
Kuberanaga was the mother of prabhavati Gupta. Chandragupta II married the Naga Princess Kuberanaga and gave his own daughter, Prabhabati, in marriage to Vakataka king,
Rudra Sena II. The Vakataka alliance was a masterstroke of diplomacy as it secured the subordinate alliance of the Vakataka king who occupied a strategic geographical position.
It is noteworthy that Rudra Sena died young and his widow reigned until her sons came of age.

List-I | List-II |
(Author) | (Work) |

Sudraka | Mrichhakatika |
Visakhadatta | Mudrarakshasa |
Kalidasa | Vikramovasiya |
Bhavabhuti | Uttara Ramacharita |
Sudraka’s | Michhakatikam |
(The Little Clay Cart) is unquestionably a masterpiece in the realm of ancient Sanskrit drama. If we expect literature of the time to faithfully represent the age, then The Little Clay Cart has achieved this criterion more than any other plays of ancient Sanskrit tradition.
The Mudrarakshasa (“Signet Ring of the Rakshasa, the chief minister of the last Nanda king”), a historical play in Sanskrit by Visakhadatta (4th century CE) narrates the ascent of the king Chandragupta Maurya to power in Northern India with the aid of Chanakya, his Guru and chief minister. Vikramovasiya (Urvasi Won Through Valor) is based on the old legend of the love of the mortal Pururavaas for the heavenly damsel Urvasi.
Uttara Ramacharita (The story of Rama's later life), depicts Rama's coronation, the abandonment of Sita, and their reunion.

a) Gautam
b) Kapil
c) Jaimini
