The Vākāṭaka Mahārājas seem from their grants to have ruled independently a tract of country bounded by the Mahādeva and Ajanṭā Hills on the north and west, the sources of the Mahānadi on the east and the Godāvarī on the south. The village of Charmāṅka in the Bhojakaṭa kingdom, mentioned in the grant of Pravarasena III, is the modern Chammak in the Elichpur district. The dynasty belonged to the Viṣṇu vṛidha gotra. Bühler placed Vindhyaśakti about A.D. 275. Fleet fixes the dates of the dynasty by the allusion to Devagupta as father-in-law of Rudrasena II, this Devagupta being according to his view the king of Magadha who reigned about A.D. 675.
