The fall of the [[Kanva dynasty]] was due to the [[Satavahanas]], who is believed to have ended the rule of both the Shungas and Kanva, possibly extending his power into eastern [[Malwa]]. Puranic texts suggest some Sunga remnants survived in regions like Vidiśā. Archaeological evidence, including coins and finds from Nevasa, points to early [[Satavahanas|Satavahana]] influence in [[Malwa]]. | |||
==Background== | |||
The Kanva kings were [[Brahmin]]s.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Rao |first1=B. V. |title=World history from early times to A D 2000 |date=1 January 2012 |publisher=Sterling Publishers Pvt.

==Battle== | |||
The [[Satavahana dynasty|Satavahana]] ruler not only brought an end to Kanva authority but also eliminated any remaining influence of the Shungas. Puranic sources imply that despite the collapse of the Śuṅga line with Devabhūmi's death, some of its members may have continued to govern parts of the Vidiśā region and adjacent territories.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Jain |first=Kailash Chand |url=https://books.google.co.in/books?id=_3O7q7cU7k0C&pg=PR17&dq=Satavahana+occupation+of+Malwa&hl=en&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&source=gb_mobile_search&ovdme=1&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjBvrPwu5uOAxWmk68BHWjKOxEQ6AF6BAgHEAM#v=onepage&q=Satavahana%20&f=false |title=Malwa Through The Ages |date=1972-12-31 |publisher=Motilal Banarsidass Publ. |isbn=978-81-208-0824-9 |pages=154–155 |language=en}}</ref> | |||
The Puranas also attribute the defeat of both the Shungas and Kanvas possibly in eastern [[Malwa]] to [[Simuka]], the earliest known Satavahana ruler. Archaeological finds, including coins of the so-called "Malwa type" inscribed with references to a prominent Sātavāhana king in the [[Telangana]] area, along with materials from the Nevasa excavations, suggest that Malwa may have come under early Satavahana influence. These coins, likely issued by Simuka himself, along with possible inscriptional evidence, support the idea of a [[Satavahana dynasty |Satavahana]] presence in the region.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Sastri |first=K.
