like Pulumáyi he is called Vásishthíputra and where the year 13 of his reign is referred to. [123] The letters of this inscription are almost coeval with those in Pulumáyi's inscriptions. The facts that he was called Vásishthíputra and that he reigned at least thirteen years make it probable that Chaturapana was the brother and successor of Pulumáyi. Yajñasrí would thus be the nephew and second in succession to Pulumáyi and the contemporary of Rudradáman the grandson of Chashtana, whom we have taken to be a contemporary of Pulumáyi. A further proof of this is afforded by Yajñasrí's silver coin found in the Sopára stúpa. All other Ándhra coins hitherto found are adapted from contemporary coins of Ujjain and the Central Provinces, the latter probably of the Sungas. But Gautamíputra Yajñasrí Sátakarni's Sopára coin is the first silver coin struck on the type of Kshatrapa coins; it is in fact a clear adaptation of the type of the coins of Rudradáman himself which proves that the two kings were contemporaries and rivals. An idea of the 'not distant relationship' between Rudradáman and Yajñasrí Sátakarni mentioned in Rudradáman's Girnár inscription, may be formed from a Kanheri inscription recording a gift by a minister named Satoraka which mentions that the queen of Vásishthíputra Sátakarni was born in the Kárdamaka dynasty and was connected apparently on the maternal side with a Mahákshatrapa whose name is lost. If the proper name of the lost Vásishthíputra be Chaturapana, his son Yajñasrí Sátakarni would, through his mother being a Mahákshatrapa's granddaughter, be a relative of Rudradáman. Rudradáman's other epithets seem to belong to the usual stock of Indian court epithets. He is said 'to have gained great fame by studying to the end, by remembering understanding and applying the great sciences such as grammar, polity, music, and logic'. Another epithet describes him as having 'obtained numerous garlands at the Svayamvaras of kings' daughters,' apparently meaning that he was chosen as husband by princesses at several svayamvaras or choice-marriages a practice which seems to have been still in vogue in Rudradáman's time. As a test of the civilized character of his rule it may be noted that he is described as 'he who took, and kept to the end of his life, the vow to stop killing men except in battle.' Another epithet tells us that the embankment was built and the lake reconstructed by 'expending a great amount of money from his own treasury, without oppressing the people of the town and of the province by (exacting) taxes, forced labour, acts of affection (benevolences) and the like.'
