Vishnugopa (IAST: Viṣṇugopa) was a Pallava king of Kanchi. He was the son of Buddhavarman.[1]

He was one of the kings defeated by Gupta Emperor Samudragupta during his southern expedition.[2] Mayurasharma established Kadamba dynasty taking advantage of the weakening of the Pallava power.

A verse (lines 19–20) from the Allahabad stone pillar inscription of Samudragupta mentions Vishnugopa:

Whose magnanimity blended with valour was caused by (his) first capturing, and thereafter showing the favour of releasing, all the kings of Dakshiṇāpatha such as Mahēndra of Kōsala, Vyāghrarāja of Mahākāntāra, Maṇṭarāja of Kurāḷa, Mahēndragiri of Pishṭapura, Svāmidatta of Kōṭṭūra, Damana of Ēraṇḍapalla, Vishṇugōpa of Kāñchī, Nīlarāja of Avamukta, Hastivarman of Vēṅgī, Ugrasēna of Pālakka, Kubēra of Dēvarāshṭra, and Dhanañjaya of Kusthalapura.[3]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
