Vasujyeshtha

Emperor of Magadha

Vasujyeshtha or Sujyeshtha was the third Shunga Emperor who reigned over what is now Northern and Central India. He succeeded his father, the Emperor Agnimitra upon the latter's death in 141 BCE. His reign is not well documented, thus little is known about him. He is credited with successfully completing his grandfather Pushyamitra Shunga's Ashvamedha Yajna and for defeating forces of the Indo-Greek Kingdom along the banks of the Sindhu River. His achievements are mentioned briefly in the play Malavikagnimitra, which was composed during the later Gupta era by Kalidasa.
