| Abstract | After the Mauryas had to withdraw from the Vidarbha region a series of petty kings took
to power. Our knowledge about them has increased considerably since 2007 when a
deposit was found at Pusad at a riverside. New names came to the fore, some with
legends read as kuṭapāda, kukuṭakhāda, along with Viga, all related to the already known
Sebaka.1
This paper argues that kuṭapāda is a misreading for kaṭahādi, a name which is already
known from the facade of cave 10 at Ajanta. In addition it is shown that kaṭahādi is
the descriptive name of a dynasty of which four rulers can be distinguished, so that the
first can be dated close to the end of the Mauryas while the last one, with Buddhist traits,
could be the one who was active at Ajanta, together spanning the period from ca. 180 to
140 BC. |
