The Early History of India, from 600 B.C. to the Muhammadan Conquest, including the Invasion of Alexander the Great c24.s3.10

c24.s3.10

Nothing more is heard of the Āndhra kings until one of them, as above related, in or about 28 B.C., slew the last of the Kāṇvas, and no doubt annexed the territory, whatever it may have been, which still recognized the authority of that dynasty. The Āndhra kings all claimed to belong to the Sātavāhana family, and many of them assumed the title or bore the name of Sātakarṇi. They are consequently often referred to by one or other of these designations, without mention of the personal name of the monarch, and it is thus sometimes impossible to ascertain which king is alluded to. As already observed, the real name of the slayer of Susarman Kāṇva is not known.
