Introduction

Kuberanaga was a queen of Chandragupta II from the Naga clan, named in inscriptions as the mother of Prabhavatigupta, who would go on to marry into the Vakataka dynasty.

Family

A Second Strategic Marriage

Chandragupta II's marriage to a Naga-clan princess, alongside his marriage to Dhruvadevi, reflects the broader Gupta pattern of consolidating power through strategic marriage alliances with regionally significant clans; Kuberanaga's daughter Prabhavatigupta's own marriage into the Vakataka dynasty extended this pattern into the Deccan.


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.
