Which King has been mentioned in the Prayaga Prashasti of Samudragupta ?

  • A.Simhavishnu
  • B.Narsimhavarman I
  • C.Parmeshwarvarman II
  • D.Vishnugopa

Answer: D

The king named in the Prayaga Prashasti is Vishnugopa.

Harishena's Allahabad pillar inscription lists the southern kings whom Samudragupta captured and released, among them Vishnugopa of Kanchi, a Pallava ruler of the fourth century.

The other Pallava kings lived later. Simhavishnu ruled in the late sixth century, Narasimhavarman I in the seventh, and Parameshvaravarman II in the eighth, so none of them could appear in a fourth-century inscription.
