Very little is known regarding the history of Kaliṅga from the death of Aśoka to the rise of the Cheta or Cheti dynasty probably in the first century B.C. (three hundred years after the Nandas). The names of the first two¹ kings of the Cheta line are not clearly indicated in the Hāthīgumphā inscription. Lüders Ins. No. 1347 mentions a king named Vakradeva (Vakadepasiri or Kūdepasiri ?) But we do not know for certain whether he was a predecessor or successor of Khāravela.
