किस गुप्त सम्राट ने अपनी राजधानी साकला (Sakala) में स्थापित की थी?
Detailed Solution & Logic
Mihirakula/मिहिरकुल
Explanation / व्याख्या:
Mihirakula established his capital at Sakala.
मिहिरकुल ने अपनी राजधानी साकला में स्थापित की थी।
साकला वर्तमान में Sialkot के पास स्थित माना जाता है।
Mihirakula was a ruler of the Hunas (Huns), not actually a Gupta emperor.
मिहिरकुल हूण शासक था, गुप्त सम्राट नहीं था।
He was known for his cruelty and invasions in northern India.
वह अपनी क्रूरता और उत्तर भारत पर आक्रमणों के लिए प्रसिद्ध था।
He was defeated by Yashodharman of Malwa and later by Narasimhagupta Baladitya according to some sources.
उसे मालवा के यशोधर्मन और बाद में नरसिंहगुप्त बालादित्य ने पराजित किया था।
Why other options are incorrect / अन्य विकल्प गलत क्यों हैं:
❌ Chandragupta I → Capital was mainly at Pataliputra.
❌ Samudragupta → Also ruled from Pataliputra.
❌ Ashoka → He belonged to the Maurya Empire, not Gupta dynasty.
Extra Fact / अतिरिक्त तथ्य:
The famous Chinese traveler Xuanzang mentioned Mihirakula as a powerful but harsh ruler.
चीनी यात्री ह्वेनसांग ने मिहिरकुल को एक शक्तिशाली लेकिन कठोर शासक बताया है।
Correct Answer: Mihirakula / मिहिरकुल
