Which of the following Gupta rulers is known for defeating the Hunas (Huns) and saving the empire from their invasion?

💡 Solution & Explanation

Skandagupta successfully repelled the aggressive invasions of the nomadic Hunas, securing the Gupta Empire and earning great historical acclaim documented in the Junagadh rock inscription. Earlier rulers like Samudragupta expanded the empire through military conquests across India, but did not face the Huna threat. The decline of the Gupta Empire accelerated in the decades following Skandagupta due to continuous external pressures and financial strain.
