Radhamitra (original) (raw)

Radhamitra (Rādhāmitra), or Radhamita, was a king of Kosambi, the capital of one of the previously independent Indian Mahajanapadas known before as Vatsa. He was part of the Mitra dynasty, and was likely one of the earliest kings in the dynasty. It is likely that the Mitra dynasty started its independent rule in Vatsa after the Maurya Empire fragmented into many smaller states, or with the following weakening of the succeeding Shunga Empire. Like with most other kings of the Mitra dynasty of Kosambi his name ends with mitra.
