Dharasena (ruler)

Dharasena was a Traikutaka ruler of the Konkan coast.

He was the son of the Traikutaka ruler Indradatta and succeeded him as king.

He is known to have performed an ashwamedha horse sacrifice [2][3][4] and was succeeded by his son Vyaghrasena.

[4] King Dahrasena expanded his realm, which soon bordered the Vakataka realm.

This led to conflict and the Vakataka king Narendrasena, who with the help of his son & crown prince Prithivishena, probably defeated the Traikutikas, as later king Prithivishena's inscriptions refer to him twice rescuing the "sunken fortunes of his family".
