Dilli ke Mehrauli mein Ishaan ke daada use ek ooncha dhaatu stambh dikhaane le jaate. "Ye lauh stambh 1,600 saal se puraana," wo kehte, "aur kabhi jung nahi lagi." Ishaan chikni sataah chhoota. Baarish mein chhodi cycle saal bhar mein jung kha jaati! Vaigyaanik maante iske khaas lohe aur hawa ki oxygen se bani patli suraksha parat ise jung se bachaati. Iska abhilekh Chandra naam ke raaja ki prashansa karta.

Wo raaja the Gupt vansh ke Chandragupt dviteeya, jinhe Vikramaaditya bhi kehte. 3rd sadi CE mein Kushaanon ke kamzor hone par Gupt aaj ke Uttar Pradesh ke paas kshetreey shaasak ke roop mein uthe aur Paataliputra raajdhaani wala shaktishaali saamraajya banaaya. "Dviteeya" isliye ki unke daada, Chandragupt pratham, jinhone sikkon aur sochi-samjhi dostiyon se saamraajya ki neev rakhi, ka bhi yahi naam tha. Chandragupt dviteeya Vishnu bhakt the, aur Vishnu ka vaahan Garud unke abhilekhon par. Stambh shaayad pehle Madhya Pradesh ki Udayagiri gufaaon mein khada tha.

Unke pita Samudragupt yoddha raaja the. Prayagraj ke stambh par darbaari kavi Harishen ka abhilekh, prayaag prashasti, kehta unki mahatvaakaanksha "Prithvi ko ek karna" thi. Unhone kai yuddh lade; kai haare raaja karad banakar gaddi par laute, kuch dar se jhuke. Harishen kala, shiksha aur vyaapaar ke unke samarthan ki bhi prashansa karte, aur ek sikka Samudragupt ko veena bajaate dikhaata. Ek aur ashvamedh ka. Charam par saamraajya uttar aur pashchim Bharat ka zyaadatar aur madhya-poorvi Bharat ke hisse tak tha.
