  • Period: 467 BCE to 550 BCE

    Decline in Empire (Part 2)

    From the inscriptions that the Guptas, although their power was diminished, continued to resist the Huns. The Hun invader Toramana was defeated by Bhanugupta in 510. The Huns were defeated and driven out of India in 528 by a coalition consisting of Gupta emperor Narasimhagupta and the King Yashodharman from Malwa. The succession of the 6th-century Guptas is not entirely clear, but the tail end recognized ruler of the dynasty's main line reigned from 540 to 550.

    Decline in Empire (Part 1)

    After Skandragupta's death the empire was clearly in decline. He was followed by Puruguta (467-473), Kumaragupta II (473-476), Budhagupta (476-495), Narasimhagupta (495-?), Kumaragupta III (530-540), Vishnugupta (540-550), Vainyagupta and Bhanugupta. In the 480's the Hephthalities broke through the Gupta defenses in the northwest and much of the empire in the northwest was overrun by the Hun by 500. The empire disintegrated under the attacks of Toramana and his successor Mihirakula.
