Pravarasena (r. c. 275 – 335 CE[1]) was the successor of Vindhyashakti, the founder of the Vakataka dynasty. He was the first and only Vakataka ruler to be called Samrāṭ, meaning emperor or universal ruler.[2][3] Under his reign, the Vakatakas were established as a major power in the Deccan, where they would rule for almost two centuries after Pravarasena's death.
