Kumaragupta II (Gupta script: Ku-ma-ra-gu-pta)[2] Kramaditya was an emperor of the Gupta Empire. An image of Gautama Buddha at Sarnath notes that he succeeded Purugupta who was most likely his father.[3] He was succeeded by Budhagupta.[4]
Several statues of the standing Buddha, representative of Gupta art, are known from the reign of Kumaragupta II, now in the Sarnath Museum.[5][6]
