(a) Kumar Rudra Barmana
(b) Swargadeo Rudra Singha
(c) Kumar Bhaskara Barmana
(d) Bhagadatta
Answer: c
Chinese pilgrim Hiuen-Tsang visited Kamrupa in 640 AD. He met Kamrupa King Bhaskara Barmana in Gauda and got an invitation to visit his kingdom. So, Hiuen-Tsang came to Assam and attended the court of King Bhaskara Barmana.
The Chinese traveller Xuanzang visited the kingdom in the 7th century, then ruled by Bhaskaravarman. The corpus of Kamarupa inscriptions left by the rulers of Kamarupa at various places in Assam and present-day Bangladesh are important sources of information.
