Biography

Kumara Devi Lichcchavaia of Nepal

• Father Vasuravarma of Nepal
• Kumara Devi Lichcchavaia of Nepal married Chandragupta I, Maharajadhiraja in Northern India, son of Ghatotkacha.

Family

• Chandragupta I, Maharajadhiraja in Northern India d. c 330

Child

• Sri Samudragupta, Maharajadhiraja of Aryavarta+1 d. c 376

• The Gupta emperor Chandragupta I married a Licchavi princess Kumaradevi and the legend Licchavayah is found along with a figure of goddess Lakshmi on the reverse of the Chandragupta I-Kumaradevi type gold coins of Samudragupta. In the Allahabad Pillar inscription of Samudragupta, he is described as the Licchavidauhitra (the grandson of the Licchavis from his mother's side). These probably suggest Licchavi occupation of Magadha immediately before the rise of the imperial Guptas, although there is no direct evidence to prove it
