Shalivahana
editShalivahana is a grand son of Vikramaditya and contemporary to Christ. Stephen knapp discovered the coversation of Christ and Shalivahana King in Bhavishya Purana.
Changing the title to Salivahana
editThe Satavahanas patronized Prakrits instead of Sanskrit, so IAST character 'Ś' should be transliterated as 's' instead of 'sh' in my opinion. All the Prakrits like Pali, (even modern Telugu) spell 'Ś' less soft. This trend is also seen in other related articles like Satavahanas, Satakarni. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.139.160.72 (talk) 05:29, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
Shalivahana (IAST: Śālivāhana) was a legendary emperor of ancient India, who is said to have ruled from Pratishthana (present-day Paithan, Maharashtra). He is believed to be based on a Satavahana king (or kings). There are several contradictory legends about him. Most legends associate him with another legendary emperor, Vikramaditya of Ujjain, in some way. In some legends, he is presented as an enemy of Vikramaditya; in other legends, he is named as a grandson of Vikramaditya; and in a few legends, the title Vikramaditya is applied to the ruler of Pratishthana. According to some historically inaccurate legends, his birth or one of his battle victories marked the beginning of the Shalivahana calendar era, which is another name for the Saka era.
