Gupta was the founder of the Gupta dynasty. He is believed to be the same as King Che-li-ki-to, whose name is thought to be the Chinese transcription of Shri-Gupta. According to the 7th-century Chinese Buddhist monk I-tsing, Gupta built a temple near a place called Mi-li-kia-si-kia-po-no (Mṛgaśikhāvana) for Chinese pilgrims. This temple was located in eastern India. Based on different interpretations of its location, modern scholars place Gupta's territory in either present-day eastern Uttar Pradesh or the Bengal region.
