Explanation:

Kharavela (also transliterated Kharabe?a) was a king of Kalinga in present-day Odisha, India, who ruled during the second century BCE. He was the most prominent and best-known king of the Mahameghavahana dynasty, which is also known as the Chedi dynasty by some scholars based on a misreading of his father's name (Cheta-raja). The primary source for Kharavela is his rock-cut Hathigumpha inscription. The inscription is undated, and only four of its 17 lines are completely legible. Scholars have interpreted it differently, leading to speculation about his reign. The inscription credits the king with welfare activities, patronage of the arts, repair works, and military victories. Although it exaggerates his achievements, historians agree that Kharavela was one of Kalinga's strongest rulers. He is believed to have been a follower of Jainism, although the Hathigumpha inscription describes him as a devotee of all religions.
