Kamarupa
Kamarupa (; also called Pragjyotisha or Pragjyotisha-Kamarupa), an early state during the Classical period on the Indian subcontinent, was (along with Davaka) the first historical kingdom of Assam. The Kamrupa word first appeared in the Samudragupta Allahabad Edict before that there is no mention of existence of this word. Though Kamarupa prevailed from 350 to 1140 CE, Davaka was absorbed by Kamarupa in the 5th century CE."As regards the eastern limits of the kingdom, Davaka was absorbed within Kamarupa under Kalyanavarman and the outlying regions were brought under subjugation by Mahendravarman." Ruled by three dynasties from their capitals in present-day Guwahati, North Guwahati and Tezpur, Kamarupa at its height covered the entire Brahmaputra Valley, parts of North Bengal, Bhutan and northern part of Bangladesh, and at times portions of what is now West Bengal, Bihar and Sylhet.

Samudravarman
Samudravarman was ruler of Kamarupa, for the period 374-398 AD. He was son of Pushyavarman, the founder of Varman Dynasty of Kamarupa. Reign Samudravarman who was likened to the 5th ocean, in whose kingdom the weak were not oppressed by the strong, who shone like a jewel and who was quick in accepting a duel. Datta-Devi was the name of his queen, she gave birth to Balavarman whose strength (Bala) and armor (Varma) were never separated and whose soldiers were always forward against his enemies. It is known from the inscriptions of Samudra Gupta that the name of his queen, too, was Datta-Devi, and that he defeated king Balavarman. It appears from this that Samudra Gupta and Samudravarman married in the same family. Thus, Samudra Gupta was compelled, in spite of this relation, to fight with Balavarman according to the rules of Asvamedha sacrifice which took place in 350-380 A.D. So it may be admitted that he lived about this time. Perhaps this invasion of Samudra Gupta limi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

5th-century Indian Monarchs
The 5th century is the time period from AD 401 (represented by the Roman numerals CDI) through AD 500 (D) in accordance with the Julian calendar. The 5th century is noted for being a period of migration and political instability throughout Eurasia. It saw the collapse of the Western Roman Empire, which came to a formal end in 476 AD. This empire had been ruled by a succession of weak emperors, with the real political might being increasingly concentrated among military leaders. Internal instability allowed a Visigoth army to reach and ransack Rome in 410. Some recovery took place during the following decades, but the Western Empire received another serious blow when a second foreign group, the Vandals, occupied Carthage, capital of an extremely important province in Africa. Attempts to retake the province were interrupted by the invasion of the Huns under Attila. After Attila's defeat, both Eastern and Western empires joined forces for a final assault on Vandal North Africa, but ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
