<P> The Satavahana power was revived by Gautamiputra Satakarni , who is considered the greatest of the Satavahana rulers . Charles Higham dates his reign c. 103 -- c. 127 CE . S. Nagaraju dates it 106 -- 130 CE . The king defeated by him appears to have been the Western Kshatrapa ruler Nahapana , as suggested by Nahapana 's coins overstuck with names and titles of Gautamiputra . The Nashik prashasti inscription of Gautamiputra 's mother Gautami Balashri , dated to the 20th year after his death , records his achievements . The most liberal interpretation of the inscription suggests that his kingdom extended from the present - day Rajasthan in the north to Krishna river in the south , and from Saurashtra in the west to Kalinga in the east . He assumed the titles Raja - Raja ( King of Kings ) and Maharaja ( Great King ) , and was described as the Lord of Vindhya . </P>
