Vindhyasena (r. c. 355 – 400 CE[1]), also known as Vindhyashakti II,[2] was a ruler of the Vatsagulma branch of the Vakataka dynasty.
He was the son and successor of Sarvasena I. Vindhyasena seems to have enjoyed quite a long reign, as he issued a charter from his capital of Vatsagulma in his thirty-seventh regnal year.
An inscription at Ajanta from the time of Harishena, a later Vakataka monarch, records Vindhyasena's victory against the rulers of the Kuntala in northern Karnataka, likely the Kadambas.
[4] Vindhyasena ruled over a fairly extensive kingdom that included the southern part of Berar (Vidarbha) and the districts of Nasik, Ahmednagar, Pune, and Satara,[5] as well as the Marathwada region.
[6] Prithivishena likely provided material aid to Vindhyasena as the latter carried out the conquest of the Kuntala country.
