Vindhyasena ([1]), also known as Vindhyashakti II,[2] was a ruler of the Vatsagulma branch of the Vakataka dynasty. He was the son and successor of Sarvasena I.
Vindhyasena seems to have enjoyed quite a long reign, as he issued a charter from his capital of Vatsagulma in his thirty-seventh regnal year.[3] The charter records the grant of a village in the Nandikata region which is identified with Nanded. An inscription at Ajanta from the time of Harishena, a later Vakataka monarch, records Vindhyasena's victory against the rulers of the Kuntala in northern Karnataka, likely the Kadambas.[4] Vindhyasena ruled over a fairly extensive kingdom that included the southern part of Berar (Vidarbha) and the districts of Nasik, Ahmednagar, Pune, and Satara,[5] as well as the Marathwada region.
Vindhyasena's contemporary to the north was his cousin Prithivishena I of the main Vakataka branch. The relationship between the two branches of the dynasty appears to have been quite cordial at this time, with the main branch probably enjoying a nominal overlordship over the Vatsagulma branch.[6] Prithivishena likely provided material aid to Vindhyasena as the latter carried out the conquest of the Kuntala country.[7] Upon his death, Vindhyasena was succeeded by his son Pravarasena II.
