The princess was given in marriage to Vāsiśhṭhīputra Srī Sātakarṇi of the Sātavāhana family of the Deccan. A Nāgārjunikoṇḍa inscription² refers to a princess from Ujjain named Rudradhara Bhaṭṭārikā who was the queen (\*Mahādevī\*) of an Ikshvāku ruler of the Guṇṭūr district and some adjoining regions in the lower Kṛishṇā valley. It has been surmised by Vogel that she probably belonged to the house of Chashṭana. Her father is styled a \*Mahārāja\*, a title which seems to have been formally assumed by one of the latest successors of Rudradāman I, viz., Svāmī-Rudrasena III, who ruled from \*c.\* A.D. 348 to 378, and was, apparently, a contemporary of Samudra-Gupta. It is, however, difficult to say if the Ikshvāku queen was a daughter of Rudrasena III or of some earlier prince. - [Previous: c19.s3.21](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.raychaudhuri-1923.c19.s3.21) - [Next: c19.s3.23](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.raychaudhuri-1923.c19.s3.23) - [Up: c19.s3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.raychaudhuri-1923.c19.s3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.raychaudhuri-1923.c19.s3.22](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.raychaudhuri-1923.c19.s3.22) · Pramāṇa
