Which of the following statements about the Gupta Empire under Samudragupta is incorrect?
Answer: B
The incorrect statement is that Samudragupta was the first Gupta ruler to exercise direct administrative control over western and southern India.
The Allahabad pillar itself says he defeated the twelve southern kings and then restored them - grahana-moksha-anugraha - taking tribute, not territory. Western India came under direct Gupta rule only when Chandragupta II destroyed the Saka Kshatrapas.
