Gunda inscription of Rudrasimha, Saka year 103.Coin of Rudrasimha I, dated 114 Saka Era (192 CE).[2]
Rudrasimha I was a Western Kshatrapa ruler, who reigned from 178 to 197 CE. He was son of Rudradaman I, grandson of Jayadaman, and grand-grandson of Chashtana.[3] During his reign, the Abhiras became increasingly important. Some of them were even serving as generals.[4] Ashvini Agrawal thinks that the Abhira king Isvardatta was a general in the service of Rudrasimha I who deposed his master in 188 A.D and ascended the throne. Ashvini Agrawal further says that Rudrasimha I soon deposed him and regained the throne in 190 A.D.[4]
