Complete answer: Chandragupta II was the ruler well known by his title Vikramaditya.
He was one of the most powerful rulers of the Gupta Dynasty in ancient India.
Chandragupta continued his expansionist policy that was established by his father Samudragupta: historical evidence state that he defeated the Western Kshatrapas, and extended his empire from the Indus River in the west to the Bengal region on the eastern front of India, and from the Himalayan foothills in the north to the Narmada River present in the south. His daughter Prabhavatigupta was a queen of Vataka kingdom that is present in the southern region of India, following which he had an influence in the Vataka kingdom and southern region of India.
Chandragupta was a son of Samudragupta and queen Dattadevi written in his own inscriptions.
The Gupta Empire was an ancient Indian empire that existed from the mid 3rd century or the late 3rd century CE to 543 CE. At its zenith, it existed from 319 to 467 CE, during which it covered much of the Indian subcontinent.

Note: The empire eventually died out due to the contribution of a lot of factors such as substantial loss of territory and loss caused because of the imperial authority caused by its own erstwhile feudatories, as well as the invasion led by the Huna peoples who lived in Central Asia. After the collapse of the Gupta Empire during the 6th century, India was once again ruled by numerous regional kingdoms under numerous kings.
