is this all there is to say about him???

Name edit

As several modern historians have pointed out, the word Śri is an honorific, not part of the king's name. For example, the Allahabad Pillar inscription names Samudragupta's ancestors as Śri Gupta, Śri Ghatotkacha, and Śri Chandragupta. As such, this article should be moved to Gupta. utcursch | talk 15:41, 28 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
