The royal seal of Pravarasena II attached to the Tirodi plates, dated to his 23rd regnal year. The legend on the seal reads: "(This is) the enemy-chastising command of Pravarasēna, the ornament of the Vākāṭakas, who has attained royal fortune by inheritance."[1]
Pravarasena II (r. c. 420 – 455 CE) was a ruler of the Nandivardhana-Pravarapura branch of the Vakataka dynasty. He was the son of Rudrasena II and Prabhavatigupta, the daughter of the Gupta emperor Chandragupta II. He succeeded his brother Damodarasena as Maharaja. Pravarasena's reign seems to have been mostly peaceful and prosperous, and is noted for an efflorescence of religious patronage.
