Rudrasimha II (304–348) was a ruler of the Western Satraps He declared on his coins to be the son of a Lord (Svami) named Jivadaman.[2]
His coinage is coeval with that of other rulers, who may have been sub-kings and were his sons: Yasodaman II (317–332) and Rudradaman II (332–348).[2]
During his rule, a Saka ruler inscribed the Kanakerha inscription,[3] on the hill of Sanchi mentioning the construction of a well by the Saka chief and "righteous conqueror" (dharmaviyagi mahadandanayaka) Sridharavarman (339-368 CE).[1] Another inscription of the same Sridhavarman with his military commander is known from Eran.[1] These inscription point to the extent of Saka rule as the time of Rudrasimha II.
Coins of Rudrasimha were found inside the Buddhist stupa of Devnimori in Gujarat.[4]
