Damodarasena (r. c. 410 – 420 CE[1]) was a ruler of the Nandivardhana-Pravarapura branch of the Vakataka dynasty.
His father's early death led to Prabhavatigupta ruling as regent for an extended period of time as their sons Divakarasena, Damodarasena, and Pravarasena were all minors.
Divakarasena, the Crown Prince, died before ascending the throne and so it was Damodarasena and his brother, Pravarasena II, who became Vakataka kings instead.
[3] In the past, the status of Damodarasena as a Vakataka ruler was subject to controversy.
[4][5] However, the seal inscription of the Miregaon plates, discovered in 1982, describes Prabhavatigupta as the "mother of two kings" (i.e. Damodarasena and Pravarasena II) and finally establishes that the two persons were indeed distinct.
