📘 Explanation / व्याख्या:
Chandragupta II (reigned c. 375–415 CE), also known as Vikramaditya, defeated the Shaka (Western Kshatrapa) ruler Rudrasimha III and annexed his kingdom. This victory led to the conquest of Malwa, Gujarat, and Saurashtra, giving the Gupta Empire access to important western seaports and boosting trade with the Roman Empire and other regions.
The defeat of the Shakas marked a major expansion of the Gupta Empire and strengthened its political and economic power.
