Śri Yajña (r. 172-201 CE) or Śri Yajña Śātakarṇi is a king from the Sātavāhana dynasty of ancient India. The Sātavāhana lineage (known as Andhra in the Purāṇas) once ruled much of the Deccan region and several of the Ajantā caves at West-Khandesh (West-Khaṇḍeśa, modern Jalgaon) were carved in the 3rd century BCE when the region was ruled by kings (e.g., Śri Yajña Śātakarṇi) and descendants of the Sātavāhana kings. Śri Yajña Śātakarṇi was preceded by Śivaskanda Śātakarṇi and succeeded by Vijaya Śātakarṇi.
