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., Pulumāvi I) and descendants of the Sātavāhana kings. Pulumāvi I was preceded by Śātakarṇi III and succeeded by Gaurakṛṣṇa.
