Bhanugupta, identified as possibly the Governor of Malwa under the Gupta Empire, faced increasing pressure from the Hūņas, a Central Asian nomadic tribe led by Toramana. The Hūņas sought to expand their influence westward, leading to clashes with Gupta forces in the region. [3] [4]
The Battle of Eran in 510 A.D. saw Bhanugupta and his military lieutenant, Goparāja, confront Toramana's Hūņa forces. Despite Goparāja's renowned prowess, he fell fighting in the battle, allowing the Hūņas to advance further towards Magadha. [1] This marked a significant loss for Bhanu Gupta and the Gupta Empire in their defense against the Alchon Huns or Huna incursions. [7] [8]
Following the battle, Toramana asserted his supremacy in Malwa, indicating the Gupta Empire's loss of control over the region. The defeat of Bhanugupta and the advance of the Huns towards Magadha signaled a period of turmoil for the Gupta Empire. The subsequent rule of Toramāna and his son Mihirakula further solidified Hūņa influence in the region, impacting the political landscape of ancient Subcontinent. [3]
