English: Vikramaditya Gupta goes forth to war, AD 395.
One of the great figures of ancient India whose fame has come down to modern times in legend and story is the Gupta emperor Chandragupta II, surnamed Vikramaditya, nowadays corrupted into Bikramjit, and still more popularly into Raja Bikram. His most famous exploit was a march across India ending in the conquest of the Western Satraps of Saurashtra now known as Kachh and Gujarat.
