Devavarman and Somaśarman are variant readings of the same name. The same is the case with Śatadhanus⁵ and Śatadhanvan. It is not easy to identify Vṛishasena and Pushyadharman; they may be merely *birudas* or secondary names of Devavarman and Śatadhanvan. But the possibility that they represent a distinct branch of the Maurya line is not entirely excluded.
