Explanation:

The earliest of the Satavahana kings to receive wide recognition was Satakarni I, and this was due to his policy of military expansion in all directions. He is the Lord of the west who defied Kharavela of Kalinga (mentions him in the Hathigumpha inscription).
The Nasik inscription throws much light on the reign of Gautamiputra Satakarni.
Though Satavahanas were Brahmins they also patronized Buddhism. They also patronized Prakrit Language and literature.

Amravati Stupa was probably founded in the third century BCE in the time of Asoka but there is no decisive evidence for the foundation. The earliest inscription from the site belongs to the early centuries BCE but it cannot be assign to Asoka with certainty. Vashishtaputra Pulamayi repaired the old Amravati Stupa.
