| Additional information |
The Traikutakas were a minor dynasty operating in the Konkan region of western India, likely as feudatories before asserting independence during the fragmentation that followed Gupta expansion pressure in the mid-fifth century. Dahrasena is among the better-documented rulers of the line, known primarily through his coins and a single copper plate grant. His silver drachms derive their broad typological form from the Western Kshatrapa coinage that had dominated the region for centuries prior — a borrowed grammar of legitimacy from a dynasty already long extinct by his reign.
