Satrubhanja

[2] The Asanapat village dancing Nataraja Shiva inscription in Sanskrit Language with Post Brahmi or early Kalinga script of Satrubhanja provides a great deal of details about his achievements as a conqueror and spiritual man.

He is mentioned to have mastered the knowledge of Itihasa, Vyakarana, Samiksa, Nyaya, Mimamsa, Chandas, Vedas, Buddhist Scriptures and Samkhya and also described as the expert in all arts.

The struggle of the combined Naga forces (Kausambi, Ahichhatra, Padmavati and Vindhyatavi) caused the downfall of the Kushan power in India leading to the rise of the Gupta supremacy.

[9] Satrubhanja had gifted lakhs of cows at places like Pataliputra, Gaya, Krimila, Dalavardhana, Pundrvardhana, Gokkhati, Khadranga, Tamaralipti and both North and South Toshali with the purpose of to united of local rulars and defeated to Debaputra or kusana king biswa sphani.

[15] He distributed a huge amount of wealth around a large part of northern, central and eastern India which provides an image of his territorial expanse.

Though the Naga clan was defeated after its short lived rise to supremacy, they were instrumental in overthrowing the rule of foreign origin Kushans in India.
