What title did many Kushana rulers adopt to signify their divine status?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Devaputra.
Many Kushana rulers, most notably Kanishka I, adopted the title Devaputra, which literally translates to "Son of God." This practice was likely influenced by Chinese imperial traditions, where the emperor was called the "Son of Heaven." By adopting this title, the Kushana monarchs sought to provide a divine sanction to their rule, elevating their status above ordinary mortals and consolidating their authority over a diverse empire that stretched from Central Asia to Northern India.
