Narasimhagupta (Gupta script: Na-ra-si-ṅha-gu-pta)[2] Baladitya was the Gupta Emperor from 495 to 530 CE. He was son of Purugupta and probably the successor of Budhagupta. Hiuen TSang refers to him as the king of Magadha.[4][5]
Narasimhagupta became a Buddhist monk and gave up his life through dhyana (meditation). Kumaragupta I and Budhagupta may have built monasteries at Nalanda.
