Western Satrap territory extended from the west coast of India to Vidisha/ Sanchi and Eran, from the time of Rudrasena II (256–278) well into the 4th century.[1]Yasodhaman II (317–332) was a son and probably sub-king of king Rudrasimha II of the Western Satraps. He declared on his coins to be the son of Rudrasimha II.[2]
Yasodaman was succeeded by another of Rudrasimha II's sons Rudradaman II (332–348).
During his rule, a Saka ruler inscribed the Kanakerha inscription,[3] on the hill of Sanchi mentioning the construction of a well by the Saka chief and "righteous conqueror" (dharmaviyagi mahadandanayaka) Sridharavarman (339-368 CE).[1] Another inscription of the same Sridhavarman with his military commander is known from Eran.[1] These inscription point to the extent of Saka rule as the time of Rudrasimha II and Yasodhaman II.
