Vasujyeshtha or Sujyeshtha (also Vasujyestha, Sujyestha) was the third Shunga Emperor who reigned over what is now Northern and Central India.[1] [2] He succeeded his father, the Emperor Agnimitra upon the latter's death in 141 BCE.[3] His reign, though attested to by coinage, is not well documented, thus little is known about him.[4] He is credited with successfully completing his grandfather Pushyamitra Shunga's Ashvamedha Yajna and for defeating forces of the Indo-Greek Kingdom along the banks of the Sindhu River. His achievements are mentioned briefly in the play Malavikagnimitra, which was composed during the later Gupta era by Kalidasa.
