The founder of the Kardamaka branch of the Western Kshatrapas was ..................... .

  • A.Rudradaman I
  • B.Nahapana
  • C.Bhumaka
  • D.Chashtana

Answer: D

The founder of the Kardamaka branch was Chashtana.

The Western Kshatrapas had two lines. The Kshaharata line of Bhumaka and Nahapana ruled the western Deccan until Gautamiputra Satakarni destroyed it. The Kardamaka line was founded by Chashtana at Ujjain, and its greatest ruler was his grandson Rudradaman I.

So Bhumaka and Nahapana belong to the other branch, and Rudradaman I was a descendant of the founder, not the founder himself.
