A nice image of the Junagadh rock, on which inscriptions related to Skandagupta can be found. Feel free to insert in the article. PHG ( talk) 18:54, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
I am amazed that the bhitari inscription is completely missed out as a source .Skendagupta slept on the floors as ordinary soldiers and built canvas shelters for the indian long bow to ensure that Maghadhans would win victory agaisnt the huns. If you do not keep your bow dry then it becomes effective was obvious when Porus was overcome by alexander but I will try to provide the source of his tactics soon —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bharati8000 ( talk • contribs) 10:37, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
@ Zombie gunner: A 1934 history book whose theories have been rendered obsolete by later scholarship is not a great source. If you have read any recent books on the Gupta history, you'd know that Jayaswal's identification of various characters in other texts with Gupta kings are not accepted by later scholars. To quote R. C. Majumdar ( A Comprehensive History of India, 1981): "The various theories of Jayaswal about the career and military campaigns of Samudra-gupta, like the rest of his history of the Guptas, are too conjectural and full of wild guesses to be seriously considered." Inserting an entire section with a major quote from such an antiquated and obsolete book is not justified. utcursch | talk 18:37, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
