What rendered Sātakarṇi’s western dominions safe was his alliance with the powerful Aṅgiya family of the west country. In her Nānāghāṭ record, Nāganikā the queen of Sātakarṇi described herself as a girl (bālā) of that Mahārathi who was the Aṅgiyakulavardhana. This was the Mahārathi Tranakayiro of the figure-label inscriptions of the Nānāghāṭ cave. This marriage brought greater security and power to Sātakarṇi, who now prepared to pay off his old scores against his aggressive neighbour of Kaliṅga.
