When one recalls the ''Glory
that was Ind'' one first thinks of the Golden Age of the Guptas. Emperors
and Empires, India had seen earlier, but the power and the splendour of
the Guptas was unique and none in the dynasty strove harder than Samudra
Gupta to achieve them. If he was a benevolent despot he was also a scholar
and a great soldier.What little we know about Samudragupta Gupta is gathered
from the coins he issued and from a few inscriptions. In this Chitra Katha
we have relied on literary sources and our own imagination to recontruct
the life and times of one of the greatest rulers of our history.'
