History

South Kosala had been in control of the Vakatakas for almost 60 years. After the death of Harishena, the last Vakataka king, South Kosala went into the hands of the regional Rajarsitulyakula.[1] Their capital was loacetd at Arang. The founder of the Rajarsitulyakula dynasty was Sura.[2] This dynasty flourished in the 6th or 5th century.[3][2]

The rulers used the Gupta Samvat or calendar, which shows that the rulers of this dynasty accepted the Gupta authority. 2 coins of the Gupta rulers have been found here, of Samudragupta and Kumaragupta I.[3]

The Rajarsitulyakula were succeeded by the Parvatadvarkas.[1]
