  • A.Their kingdoms were uprooted and made a part of Samudragupta's empire.
  • B.They submitted to Samudragupta and offered daughters in marriage.

  • D.They surrendered after being defeated and then were allowed to rule again.

Answer: D

Samudragupta's policy towards the rulers of Dakshinapatha was that they surrendered after being defeated and then were allowed to rule again.

The Allahabad pillar inscription (the prashasti composed by Harishena) describes four kinds of treatment. Twelve rulers of Dakshinapatha, the south, surrendered to him after being defeated, and he then allowed them to rule again.

The rulers of Aryavarta, in the north, had their kingdoms uprooted and joined to his empire. The rulers of the frontier states and the forest people brought tribute, followed his orders and attended his court, and the more distant rulers submitted and offered daughters in marriage.
