[3] In the much later Ajanta Cave XVI inscription of the time of Harishena, Vindhyashakti is described as the "banner of the Vakataka family" and as a dvija or "twice-born".
It is stated in this inscription that he added to his power by fighting great battles and that he had a large cavalry.
[3] It appears from the Puranas that Vindhyashakti was a ruler of Vidisha in present-day Madhya Pradesh, but that is not considered to be correct.
[3] Vindhyashakti seems to have been largely forgotten or ignored after his death, perhaps overshadowed by his more illustrious son and successor, Pravarasena I.
All of the copper plates of the Vakataka dynasty begin the family genealogy with Pravarasena I instead of Vindhyashakti.
