Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Vindhyasakti The correct answer is Vindhyasakti. The Vakataka dynasty was a Brahmin dynasty. Little is known about Vindhyashakti ( c. 250 – c. 270 CE), the founder of the family. His name is derived from the name of the goddess Vindhya. The Satavahanas in peninsular India were succeeded by the Vakatakas (local power) who ruled the Deccan for more than two and a half centuries. The Vakatakas were the contemporaries of the Guptas in northern India. In the Puranas, the Vakatakas are referred to as the Vindhyakas. The Vakatakas belonged to the Vishnuvriddha gotra of the Brahmanas and performed numerous Vedic sacrifices. A large number of copperplate land grant charters issued by the Vakatakas to the Brahmans have helped in reconstructing their history. They were Brahmins and promoted Brahmanism, however, they also patronized Buddhism.
