'''Yasodhaman II''' (317–332) was a son and probably sub-king of king [[Rudrasimha II]] of the [[Western Satraps]]. He declared on his coins to be the son of Rudrasimha II.<ref>Catalogue of the coins of the Andhra dynasty, the Western Ksatrapas, the Traikutaka dynasty, and the "Bodhi" dynasty, by British Museum.

Yasodaman was succeeded by another of Rudrasimha II's sons [[Rudradaman II]] (332–348).<br />

During his rule, a Saka ruler inscribed the [[Kanakerha inscription]],<ref>Marshall, The Monuments of Sanchi [https://archive.org/stream/in.ernet.dli.2015.532798 p.392]</ref> on the hill of [[Sanchi]] mentioning the construction of a well by the Saka chief and "righteous conqueror" (''dharmaviyagi mahadandanayaka'') Sridharavarman (339-368 CE).<ref name="Shaw 58">Buddhist Landscapes in Central India: Sanchi Hill and Archaeologies of Religious and Social Change, c. Third Century BC to Fifth Century AD, Julia Shaw, Routledge, 2016 [https://books.google.com/books?id=IUbUDAAAQBAJ&pg=PR58 p58-59]</ref> Another inscription of the same Sridhavarman with his military commander is known from [[Eran]].<ref name="Shaw 58"/> These inscription point to the extent of Saka rule as the time of Rudrasimha II and Yasodhaman II.<br />
