Satakarni (Sātakarnī I) was the third of the Satavahana kings. He ruled around 180 BCE in Central India. ==Biography== Satakarni was born to King Simuka. He succeeded Kanha as the third Satavahana emperor and enjoyed a long reign of about 56 years. He seems to have conquered Western Malwa region from the Shungas. Satakarni is mentioned in the Hathigumpha inscription of Kalinga (India), as a rival to king Kharavela: :"And in the second year (he), disregarding Satakamini, dispatches to the western regions an army strong in cavalry, elephants, infantry (nara) and chariots (ratha) and by that army having reached the Kanha-bemna, he throws the city of the Musikas into consternation." Epigraphia Indica, Vol. XX Satakarni organized two horse sacrifices (Aswamedhas), to proclaim his sovereignty. He married to Nayanika (Naganika), daughter of the Maharathi Tranakayiro Kalalaya, scion of the Amgiya (Ambhiya) family. She wrote the Naneghat inscription, in which she describes Satakarni as "Lord of Dakshinapatha, wielder of the unchecked wheel of Sovereignty". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Satakarni」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
