Central Figure in a Disputed Drama
Some later Gupta inscriptions name Dhruvadevi as Chandragupta II's queen and mother of Kumaragupta I, lending indirect support to at least the broad outline of the Devichandraguptam tradition, even though the drama's specific details (the siege, disguise, and assassination) remain historically contested. Her recorded marriages — first to Ramagupta, later to Chandragupta II — are treated here as the tradition presents them, with the underlying historical uncertainty noted rather than resolved.
This article records the Gupta Empire (c. 3rd-6th century CE) as historical genealogy reconstructed mainly from inscriptions, coinage and later literary references; several later successions and family relationships remain genuinely disputed among historians, and this account follows the most widely accepted reconstruction while flagging specific points of uncertainty.
