Explanation: On the ruins of the Satavahanas, in the eastern part of the peninsula (especially in the Krishna−Guntur region), arose the Ikshvakus.

• They were probably a local tribe who adopted the exalted name of the Ikshavakus to demonstrate the antiquity of their lineage.
• Many monuments and copper plate inscriptions at Nagarjunakonda and Dharanikota (Andhra Pradesh) belonged to them.
