| | Indian, Chinese, & Japanese Emperors |
 | | While the name of Chandragupta, the founder of the Mauryas, is usally given as one word, the "Gupta" ("guarded, protected") element in names of the Gupta dynasty is usually, but not always, written as a separate word. |
 | | The name "Carnatic" also migrated south and south-east, as it also came to be associated with the large Vijayanagara realm, which stradled the modern states of Karnataka, Tamil Nâdu (where the language is Tamil), and Andhra Pradesh (where the language is Telugu). |
 | | This name means "Martial Emperor," because of the success of Chinese arms in the occupation of the Tarim Basin; but the cultural heritage of his long reign was far more durable. |
