Dharasena was a Traikutaka ruler of the Konkan coast. He was the son of the Traikutaka ruler Indradatta and succeeded him as king. He is known to have performed an ashwamedha horse sacrifice [2][3][4] and was succeeded by his son Vyaghrasena.[4]
Dharasena
Silver coin of king Dharasena. Obv: Bust of king. Rev:Chaitya and star.Brahmi inscription:
"Maharajendradattaputra Parama-Vaisnava Sri-Maharaja Dahrasena" "The glorious king Dahrasena, foremost follower of Vishnu, and son of king Indradatta".[1]
King Dahrasena expanded his realm, which soon bordered the Vakataka realm. This led to conflict and the Vakataka king Narendrasena, who with the help of his son & crown prince Prithivishena, probably defeated the Traikutikas, as later king Prithivishena's inscriptions refer to him twice rescuing the "sunken fortunes of his family".[5]
