The Early History of the Deccan (Parts I–XI) v1.c8.s7.11

v1.c8.s7.11

¹ At the time of the Poona plates, issued in the 13th year of the regency, Divākarasena was the Yuvarāja. We find no subsequent reference to him in the Vākāṭaka records. On the other hand his younger brother Dāmodarasena alias Pravarasena begins to figure as the Vākāṭaka king. It is possible but not probable that Divākarasena may have ascended the throne soon after the 13th year of the regency, and died after a short reign without leaving any issue; the crown may thus have passed to Pravarasena, who may have omitted the name of his elder brother in his charters as he was not in the direct line of descent.
