The Early History of the Deccan (Parts I–XI) v1.c7.s6.25

v1.c7.s6.25

Khāravela’s incursions into Magadha, perhaps in retaliation for earlier Magadhan invasions of Kaliṅga, brought in a like reaction from Puṣyamitra. But Khāravela does not figure further in any war against the Śuṅga ruler. We have no more information about him except that he spent nine years as *Yuvarāja*, was twenty-four years old at the time of his accession, and that he ruled as king for at least thirteen years. He may have died about 169 B.C., a year or two after his triumph over Magadha.
