vte :

Vishnugupta Candraditya (Gupta script: Vi-ṣ-ṇu-gu-pta, Sanskrit: विष्णुगुप्त) was one of the lesser-known kings of the Gupta Dynasty. He is generally considered to be the last recognized king of the Gupta Empire. His reign lasted 10 years, from 540 to 550 CE. From the fragment of his clay sealing discovered at Nalanda during the excavations of 1927–28, it is revealed that he was the son of Kumaragupta III and the grandson of Narasimhagupta.

According to a Nalanda seal, Vishnugupta was son of Kumaragupta III, and grandson of Purugupta.
