Explanation:
in periplus the mention of suraganas is considered the distortion of the name of which satavahana ruler?
The dynasty's origins are unknown, but its first ruler, according to the Puranas, toppled the Kanva dynasty. The Satavahanas established peace in the Deccan region after the Maurya dynasty and fought off foreign invasions.
Their battles with the Saka Western Satraps, in particular, lasted a long time. Gautamiputra Satakarni and his successor Vasisthiputra Pulamavi ruled the dynasty to its pinnacle. By the early third century CE, the kingdom had disintegrated into smaller entities.
The Satavahanas were among the first Indian kings to produce state coins with representations of their rulers. They served as a cultural bridge, facilitating trade and the exchange of ideas and culture between the Indo-Gangetic Plain and India's southern tip. They supported both Hinduism and Buddhism, as well as Prakrit literature.
