Parvvagupta became the king's greatest favourite by dancing naked in the court. Since the revolution caused by the Tantris, kings, as Parvvagupta perceived, had become powerless, and he aspired to the sovereignty. He contracted friendship with minister Bhubhata, and the four principal ministers Sharvata, Chhoja, Kumuda and Amritakara who were robbing the treasury with the intention of becoming kings. .... One night according to the king's orders, Partha was surrounded by ministers, captains, Tantris and Kayasthas.
