List of Satavahana kings

The Satavahanas were the rulers of the ancient Indian Satavahana Empire.

They ruled over regions of Deccan (core region), central and southern India between c. mid 3rd century BCE to mid 3rd century CE. Gautamiputra Satakarni (r. c. 106–130 CE) is considered the greatest ruler of the Satavahana dynasty. He is known as the "Lord of the West". His mother's Nashik Prashasti inscription praises him for his military victories. Originally the Satavahanas were the followers of Hindu religion.

The Satavahana Empire declined for a number of reasons, after Yajnashri Satakarni, the last powerful ruler, the Satavahanas were succeeded by weak rulers who were unable to manage the vast empire. The loss of centralized power led to the rise of feudatories, finally it led to the division of the empire. The Satavahanas' greatest competitors were the Sakas, who had established power in Western India.
