Reign

According to inscriptions, he performed Ashvamedha Yajana and also constructed a Narayana-vatika temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu.[4] Some scholars consider him to have been a part of the Kanva dynasty. However, there is no evidence to support this claim. Instead, there is an inscription which names Gajayana as his gotara or dynasty name, though it also is unclear. The same inscription also names his mother's gotra as Parasari or Parāśara.
