Pravarasena I

Pravarasena I (r. c. 275 – 335) was the successor of Vindhyashakti, the founder of the Vakataka dynasty. He was the first and only Vakataka ruler to be called Samrāṭ, meaning emperor or universal ruler. Under his reign, the Vakatakas were established as a major power in the Deccan, where they would rule for almost two centuries after Pravarasena's death.
