Later official genealogies omit his name, and even the inscriptions of his own
age omit the name of his mother.It may even be that he was simply a
successful general who promoted himself into the ruling Gupta clan.He
certainly faced some of the greatest challenges in the annals of the empire
having to contend with the Pushyamitras and the Hunas (a name by which the
"White Huns" were known in India). He defeated the Pushyamitras, a tribe who
were settled in central India but then rebelled. He was also faced with invading
Indo-Hephthalites or Hunas, from the northwest. Skandagupta had warred
against the Huns during the reign of his father, and was celebrated throughout
the empire as a great warrior. He crushed the Huna invasion in 455, and
managed to keep them at bay; however, the expense of the wars drained the
empire's resources and contributed to its decline.Which Gupta king?
