The correct answer is: A. Narendrasena
Narendrasena was a king of the Vakataka dynasty who ruled from 460 to 480 CE. He was the son of Pravarasena II and the grandson of Rudrasena I. Narendrasena was a powerful and successful ruler who expanded the Vakataka kingdom to its greatest extent. He is best known for his victory over the Traikutaka king, Dahrasena, of southern Gujarat.
Dahrasena was a powerful king who ruled over a large kingdom in southern Gujarat. He was a threat to the Vakataka kingdom and Narendrasena decided to attack him. The two armies met in battle and Narendrasena was victorious. Dahrasena was killed in the battle and his kingdom was annexed by the Vakatakas.
Narendrasena’s victory over Dahrasena made him the most powerful ruler in western India. He ruled for 20 years and during his reign, the Vakataka kingdom reached its zenith. He was a great patron of art and literature and his reign was a golden age for the Vakatakas.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Rudrasena II was the father of Narendrasena.
- Prithivisena II was the son of Narendrasena.
- Prithvisena I was the grandfather of Narendrasena.
