Rulers in South India: After the decline of the Satavahanas, there arose smaller kingdoms in the South. Of these, the Chalukyas and the Pallavas were the important ones.

Prashastis and Different Rulers: The Prashasti described four different kinds of rulers and Samudragupta’s policies towards them. These are :

  • The rulers of Aryavarta.
  • The rulers of Dakshinapatha.
  • Neighbouring states like Assam, Coastal Bengal and Nepal.
  • States ruled by the descendants of the Kushanas.

Prashastis: Prashasti is a Sanskrit word, meaning ‘in praise of’. Prashastis are long inscriptions, written in praise of the kings. From the time of the Guptas, Prashastis became very important.

The Chalukyas: The Chalukya kingdom was centred at the Raichur Doab. The Raichur Doab is located between the rivers Krishna and Tungabhadra. Their capital was at Vatapi. Pulakeshin II was a famous king of this dynasty. We know about him from a poem composed by his court poet Ravikirti.
