The sage Ne visited Nepal and made one of the people living in the society the king. The king was Bhuktaman.[7]The first king of Nepal. Having adopted Gupta as their surname and hence known as the Gupta Dynasty, eight generations of this dynasty ruled from 3000 BC to 2400 BC for about 521 years. The kings of this dynasty like Bhumigupta, Jayagupta, Dharmagupta, Harshagupta, Bishnugupta and Jitgupta had made Matatirtha the centre of their administration. Cow rearing was their main occupation. they used to rear cows for milk and agriculture.[8] The last king of Gopal dynasty was Jeet Gupta. Jeet Gupta was childless and the mahispal king Barsingh defeated Jeet and Mahispal dyanasty[9][10]continued.
Status of Nepal during Gopal dynasty
Most of the people were Hindus in that period. Women were respected they were the main source of entertainment too. It is believed that they were the people of Indus Valley Civilisation. The caste system was practised in the society. According to the belief, the Kathmandu was a lake and after the water drained out left a fertile soil every where in Kathmandu. In result people started to plant many thing like paddy, wheat etc. The trading was started in that period Nepal was getting richer. The main exporting goods of Nepal during the ancient period are wool, woolen goods (radi, bakkhu), blankets, wood, musk, gold, hides, skins and herbs like chiraito, etc to India.
