Special coins were minted to commemorate the Ashvamedha and the king took on the title of Maharajadhiraja after successful completion of the sacrifice.

Vakataka Dynasty 3rd (Century -5th Century AD) was founded by Vindhyashakti.

Pravarasena I was the real founder of the Vakataka empire. He performed four Asvamedha Yajnas. Pulakesin I was a monarch from the Chalukya dynasty in the western Deccan region. Pulakesin performed sacrifices like Asvamedha, Hiranyagarbha, Agnistoma, Vajapeya, Bahusuvarna and Paundarika.

These details are provided by his Badami Cliff inscription dated Saka 565 (543 CE).
