a few copper coins, bearing the legend "ramaguta" (prakrit form of "ramagupta") have been found at eran and vidisha in madhya pradesh. some scholars, such as k. d. bajpai, have attributed these coins to the gupta ruler ramagupta. for example, bajpai theorized that samudragupta appointed his son ramagupta as a governor in central india; ramagupta was forced to stay there even after his father's death because of the war with the shakas, and the events depicted in "devichandraguptam" happened there. however, other scholars, such as historian d. c. sircar, have disputed the attribution of these coins to an imperial gupta ruler. sircar theorizes that the issuer of these coins was a local chief who imitated gupta coinage; other chiefs with names ending in -gupta (such as harigupta and indragupta) are known to have issued similar coinage.
