Editing Chandragupta II (section)

==== Bengal region ====
The identification of Chandra with Chandragupta II also suggests Chandragupta achieved victories in the Vanga area in the present-day [[Bengal]] region. According to the [[Allahabad Pillar]] inscription of his father [[Samudragupta]], the [[Samatata]] kingdom of the Bengal region was a Gupta tributary. The Guptas are known to have been ruling Bengal in the early 6th century, although there are no surviving records of the Gupta presence in this region for the intervening period.{{sfn|R. C.

It is possible that a large part of the Bengal region was annexed to the Gupta empire by Chandragupta, and that this control continued into the 6th century.{{sfn|R. C. Majumdar|1981|pp=57–58}} The Delhi iron pillar inscription suggests that an alliance of semi-independent chiefs of Bengal unsuccessfully resisted Chandragupta's attempts to extend the Gupta influence in this region.{{sfn|R.
