The Murunda dynasty ruled in the Utkal region of modern Odisha in eastern India during 2nd and 3rd centuries CE.

Much of the information about King Gana is known from the Bhadrak inscription[1][2] which was issued in the 8th regnal year during his reign.

The Funan kingdom was co-founded by the merchant Kaundinya I from Kalinga when he married the Funanese princess Soma.

[6][7] Dhamadamadhara's rule over Kalinga is also attested from the discovery of a gold coin from Sisupalgarh, on whose obverse his name has been inscribed.

The king presented the envoy Su-Wu with four horses and it quite likely there were strong trade and cultural interactions between the two kingdoms.
