'''Satakarni II''' ([[Brahmi script]]: '''𑀲𑀸𑀢𑀓𑀡𑀺''', ''Sātakaṇi'') was the fourth of the [[Satavahana]] kings, who ruled the [[Deccan Plateau|Deccan]] region of India. His reign is generally dated to 50-25 BCE.<ref name="EP167"/>

Satakarni II conquered eastern [[Malwa]] from the [[Shunga Empire|Shungas]] or the [[Kanva dynasty|Kanvas]], following the conquest of western Malwa by early Satavahana kings.<ref>{{cite book |title=Indian History |publisher=Tata McGraw-Hill Education |isbn=9781259063237 |page=251 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ORnlAAAAQBAJ&pg=SL1-PA251 |language=en}}</ref> This allowed him access to the Buddhist site of [[Sanchi]], in which he is credited with the building of the decorated gateways around the original [[Mauryan Empire]] and [[Sunga]] [[stupa]]s.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Jain |first1=Kailash Chand |title=Malwa Through The Ages |date=1972 |publisher=Motilal Banarsidass Publ. |isbn=9788120808249 |page=154 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_3O7q7cU7k0C&pg=PA154 |language=en}}</ref>

According to the Puranic lists of future kings, "137 years after the accession of [[Chandragupta Maurya]], the [[Sungas]] will rule for 112 years and then the [[Kanva dynasty|Kanvayanas]] for 45 years whose last king Susharman will be killed by the [[Andhra Dynasty|Andhra]] [[Simuka]]".
