Explanation
The Bhagavata or Vaishnava religion reached its peak during the reign of the Gupta kings. The Gupta rulers were followers of Vaishnavism and probably adopted it as their state religion. Most rulers assumed the title “Paramabhagavata”. Garuda, the vehicle of Vishnu, was the royal emblem of the Guptas.
