'''Vasujyeshtha''' ({{reign|141|131 BCE}}) was the third king of the [[Shunga Empire|Shunga Dynasty]] of [[Northern India]]. His reign is not well documented, thus little is known about him. He is credited with successfully completing his grandfather's [[Ashvamedha]] and for defeating forces of the [[Indo-Greek Kingdom]] along the banks of the [[Sindhu River]]. His achievements are mentioned briefly in the "[[Malavikagnimitra]]", which was composed during the later [[Gupta Empire|Gupta]] era by [[Kalidasa]]. | '''Vasujyeshtha''' or '''Sujyeshtha''' ({{reign|141|131 BCE}}) was the third king of the [[Shunga Empire|Shunga Dynasty]] of [[Northern India]].
