He is said to have engaged in war with Pushkarasarin (Pukkusati) of Taxila.[8] He is said to have attacked Udayana of Vatsa and to have established matrimonial relations with him, and also had matrimonial alliances with Surasenas of Mathura. He had a younger brother Kumarasena, and Gopala and Palaka were his two sons.[3]
