chandragupta 2 and his love life

chandragupta vikramaditya fell in love with a beautiful young princess called dhruvswamini who he had won over in a war against her father, the king of madra currently known as punjab but unfortunately while chandragupta was fighting in a war against the shakas his brother ramgupta took over the dynasty since their father had died of illness and chandragupta was unaware of this .he had also forced dhruvswamini to marry him which she did helplessly inspite of wanting to marry chandragupta. later when chandragupta came back he realised this and went back to ayodhya where he ruled for about 5years until he got an opportunity to take revenge on ramgupta got back what belonged to him - the gupta kingdom as well as dhruvswamini. chandragupta later on also married kubernaga in order to keep relationships with the nagas this article is written by sharmin bhagwagar WRITEN BY VIVEK SINGH —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.168.163.192 (talk) 06:17, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

The current line: "India, have many interesting stories about King Vikramaditya, his guru named 'Manva-Patwa' and his queen(s)." Could we have some clarity? This line makes no sense.Cosmicforums (talk) 04:25, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Vikramaditya inscription the Kaaba
The entire para about Vikramaditya's supposed inscription the Kaaba seems to be pesudohistorical junk. Is there a reliable source for this? All I can find is fringe theories on unreliable websites. utcursch | talk 15:12, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Chandragupta Vikramaditya incorrectly attributed as Sandrokottos
Sandrokottos was name used by the Greeks to refer to Chandragupta Maurya over 700 years earlier. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.164.104.208 (talk) 10:58, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

There was no chandragupta 2
chandragupta 2 is a lie, there was no any chandragupta 2 in history. vikramaditya father was Gandharva-sena and he was agnivanshi. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.243.197.9 (talk) 18:23, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

Removal of content by Utcursch
Reason: no synthesis please - the sources do not mention Chandragupta

The source regarding Kuntala inscription does mention chandragupta, the other two sources simply call arabian sea as western sea and not southern sea, i dont see any issues regarding that as well. Zombie gunner (talk) 15:11, 10 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Your edit disputes the statement that the "southern ocean" in the iron pillar inscription may be a reference to the Arabian Sea on the coast of the former Western Kshatrapa territory. None of the sources cited by you dispute this statement - that is your original research.
 * By "the source regarding Kuntala inscription", I'm guessing you mean the Annual Report Of Mysore 1886 To 1903. First of all, this source doesn't dispute the above statement either. Secondly, the Kubatur inscription referred to in this report is thought to refer to Chandragupta Maurya, and is not considered reliable anyway, because it's not a contemporary or near-contemporary record. For example, see:
 * H. C. Raychaudhuri, Political History of Ancient India (p. 270): "Certain Mysore Inscriptions refer to [the Maurya king] Chandragupta's rule in north Mysore. Thus one inscription says that Nagakhanda in the Shikarpur Taluq was protected by the wise Chandragupta, an abode of the usages of eminent Kshatriyas (Rice, Mysore and Coorg from the Inscriptions, p. 10). This is of the fourteenth century and little reliance can be placed upon it."
 * G. M. Moraes, The Kadamba Kula (p. 3-4): "An inscription found in the Sorab taluqua has it that Nagarkhanda was protected by the wise [Maurya king] Chandragupta, an abode of the usages of eminent Kshattriyas. But this epigraph being of the 14th century, much importance cannot be attached to its evidence."
 * On a side note, a century old colonial government reports are rather poor sources. Much of the analysis contained in these has been superseded by later academic research. utcursch &#124; talk 16:58, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
 * My source states that Chandra Gupta ruled the Naga-khanda in the south of the Bharata-kshetra of Jambu dvipa : this is the Nagara-khanda Seventy of so many inscriptions, of which Bandanikke seems to have been the chief town. And fuidher, a record to be noticed below says that the daughters of the Kadamba king were given in marriage to the Guptas. The inscription itself makes a connection of the guptas with the name of chandragupta, meaning gupta dynasty, so your sources may very well be referring to another inscription, or they are presuming falsely that Chandragupta is of the maurya dynasty. In regards to the southern ocean, i didn't make any interpolations disputing your source's assumption, im just directly posting where my source states that arabian sea is the western sea according to manusmirti, a document from near contemporary period, where im making any interpolations of my own here?Zombie gunner (talk) 06:23, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
