π RARE: Full Genealogy of Satavahana Dynasty π Springing from the leonine Guhyak Sata, Satavahana inherited the kingdom of Raja Dvipakarni of Andhra Maval and changed the history of India. This fateful adoption took place during the period of Kanva power weakening in Deccani.
Official Lore on the origin of the King Satavahana from the Kathasaritasagara which draws from the ancient text Brihatkatha of Gunadhya. Gunadhya was NOT a 6th Century CE poet but a self-attested living CONTEMPORARY of the first ruler of the dynasty King Satavahana himself.
Satavahana's Father Sata was Guardian of famous city of Rajagrha in Magadha. He is certainly SAME as Yaksha MahΔkarni Jhillirava. Considering that his wife, the Rishiputri, was also from Ganga region it is confirmed that Sata migrated to Deccan with his son from land of Magadha.
As per Matsya Purana 273. 1 & 2, it was Raja Satavahana's son Shrimukha who assailed their overlord Kanvayanas with his tribal forces and overthrew Susharman, thus destroying the remains of Kanva power and actually established the Satavahana Dynasty as Sovereigns at Pratishthana.
Satavahanas integrated the various powerful Deccani Rathika, Bhojaka, Pattanika Kshatriya Blocs in their administration with designations of Maharathas, Mahabhojas, etc. expanding their influence across Deccan's horizons. The Maharatha designation dominated as the largest Gana.
By the period of Maharathi Rano Shri Satakarni Sadhaka the Satavahana Empire comprised of more than 5 Aharas under the Maharathas: β’ Govardhan Ahara
β’ SopΔraka Ahara
β’ Mamala Ahara
β’ Satavahani Ahara
β’ Kapurachara Ahara & More.
In an unparalleled style of uniformity & sophisticated bureaucracy only found in Dakshinapatha, The Maharathas of West Deccan issued Vrushabha Coinage,
The Maharathas of East Deccan issued Chaitya Coinage
The Maharathas of Central Deccan issued Simha or Gaja & Ujjayin Coinage.
Mahameghavahana Kharavela Samrat notes the Rathikas & Bhojakas of Satavahana Empire defeated by him possessed their own jewelled Crowns, Thrones, and Chattras as well in traditional manner of autonomous plenipotentiary Kshatriya Lords of Dakshinapatha.
Satavahana Empire at it's maximum extend under leadership of Maharathiganakayiro DakshinapΔthapati Satavahanas will all marked borders.
Samrat Shalivahana is an utterly a DIFFERENT entity from Raja Satavahana and the entire Satavahana Dynasty as a whole. He was the son of the great Shesha Naga and a daughter of a Brahmana as per the most legitimate text Simhasana Dvattrimsika.
After famously triumphing over Samrat Vikramaditya Chakravarti, Samrat Shalivahana married Lilavai and had a son Shaktikumara. Samrat Shalivahana & his son were later DEFEATED and KILLED by the joint Chera-Chozha-Pandya alliance and Kshudraka, thus ENDING his official bloodline.
It is asinine to repeatedly to correlate and conflate Shalivahana with Satavahanas who not only PREDATE, run simultaneously but also OUTLAST his entire bloodline by centuries. It is clear that Shalivahana occupied Pratishthana only after Satavahanas had relocated their capital.
Description of the Glory of Maharashtra & Pratishthana City under occupation of Samrat Shalivahana by Kouhala π Maharashtra still retained Ashmaka Mahajanapada as a name well into 1st Millennium CE. Maharashtra is spoken of as a land of fabulous wealth untouched by Kaliyuga.
Paithan is marked for having fabulous gardening, painted fencing. And even more incredibly, Houses with *Walls of Crystal/Glass*, that the poet Kouhala poetically mentions in ironic style of criticism as being a potential cause of fear, exposing private activities of residents.
We hope that the entire confusion between Satavahana-Shalivahana caused by Sanskrit-Prakrit illiterate subhumans is cleared once and for all. Satavahanas descended from Brahmavanshi Yakshas. Shalivahana & His Son were a single generational power descending from NΔgaraja Sesha.
