Chandragupta. Flouting Ramgupta’s orders, he took Grahdevi under his
protection. Then resorting to guile, Chandragupta sent word to the Saka
king that, according to his commands, Queen Grahdevi was being sent to
him, but that because of natural womanly bashfulness and modesty, she
would like to go in a curtained palanquin. She was also to be accompanied
by a retinue of her maids in similar litters. The Saka king was mad with joy
to hear this message, and he replied that the queen might be sent that way.
Chandragupta, however, himself donned the female attire and sat in the
Queen’s palanquin, while in the accompanying ones, too sat the chosen
warriors in feminine garb. As the train (procession) of those covered
palanquins drew near the capital of that Saka King, the latter, beside himself
with joy, came forward to the queen’s palanquin to receive her in person;
whereupon out came Chandragupta, in the guise of a woman, and pouncing
on the unsuspecting Saka King, slew him instantly with his sword. From
other litters too, issued forth the warriors with drawn swords, and before the
shocking news of the slaughter of the Saka King could spread out, they
vanished along with Chandragupta, quite out of the enemy’s reach.
257. The whole capital and the nation itself was resounding with the
praise for Chandragupta, when the glad news spread that Prince
Chandragupta had returned to Pataliputra after accomplishing this
unprecedented daring feat and punishing with his own hands the Saka King,
who had insulted the nation, with instant death. There was a great agitation
to dethrone the cowardly Ramgupta, who had ascended the throne of
Magadha, setting aside the last wish of the deceased emperor,
Samudragupta, and to crown Chandragupta in his place. In that commotion,
Ramgupta was killed. Immediately Chandragupta was crowned emperor
and he married the same Grahadevi, whom he had with his exceptional
valour, saved from humiliation at the hands of the enemy. Later on, with a
well-equipped huge army, Samrat Chandragupta marched upon the Saka
satraps.
Saka Satrap Rudrasingh Killed: the last phase of the war with the
Sakas
258. When the war came to closed grips on the Gujarat-Malava frontier of
the Saka dominions, the Saka kings offered tough resistance at every place,
and at every place, the Indian warriors crushed the enemy! In the last battle,
the remaining Saka Satrap, Rudrasingh, the son of Satyasingh, himself was
killed by Chandragupta.
