Sarvasena II (r. c. 415 – 455 CE[1]) was a ruler of the Vatsagulma branch of the Vakataka dynasty.
His identity was not known to early historians of the Vakatakas, because the preserved portion of the Ajanta inscription did not provide a name for the young son and successor of Pravarasena II of Vatsagulma.
For these reasons, Hans Bakker believes that Sarvasena was likely a subordinate of the main Vakataka branch ruling from Nandivardhana and Pravarapura.
[3] Ajay Mitra Shastri, on the other hand, views Sarvasena as a more powerful ruler who had substantial influence over the kingdom of the Kadambas to the south.
He is described as a good ruler in later Vakataka records, and his chief concern seems to have been the welfare of his subjects rather than warfare with his neighbors.
