纪录片《大英博物馆世界简史》 042鸠摩罗笈多王一世金币（8）

In short, Kumaragupta takes his place in the great Indian tradition inspired by Ashoka, the Buddhist¹ king of six hundred years earlier. A tradition that sees the state as tolerant of many faiths, a tradition later embraced by the Islamic Mughal emperors, by the British, and by the founders² of modern India.

简言之，600年前，信奉佛教的阿育王开启了对所有宗教一视同仁的伟大印度传统，鸠摩罗笈多王只是延续了这个传统。而之后，信仰伊斯兰教的莫卧儿王朝君主、英国殖民统治者与现代印度的建国者们，都将这一传统继承了下来。
