	According to the ''Mālavikāgnimitra'' (Act I, Verse 6-8 and Act V, Verse ~~13-14~~), a war broke out between the Shungas and neighboring [[Vidarbha kingdom (Mauryan era)\|Vidarbha]] kingdom during Agnimitra's reign. Before the rise of the Shungas, Vidarbha had become independent from the [[Mauryan Empire]] when a former Mauryan ''sachiva'' (minister) put his brother-in-law Yajnasena on the throne. Madhavasena, a cousin of Yajnasena, sought help from Agnimitra in overthrowing his cousin, but was captured while crossing the border of Vidarbha and imprisoned.<ref name=lahiri/>		According to the ''Mālavikāgnimitra'' (Act I, Verse 6-8 and Act V, Verse 13–14), a war broke out between the Shungas and neighboring [[Vidarbha kingdom (Mauryan era)\|Vidarbha]] kingdom during Agnimitra's reign.

Instead, Agnimitra sent his army to invade Vidarbha. Yajnasena was defeated and forced to divide Vidarbha with Madhavasena, and both cousins recognized the suzerainty of the Shunga rulers.<ref name=lahiri/><ref>[http://www.cs.colostate.edu/~malaiya/kalidas.html Kalidas, Encyclopedia Americana]</ref> This shows that he was probably an able military leader.
