After the death of Ashoka, a king of the Chedi dynasty named Mahamegh Vahan announced his independence. And Kharvel made a big kingdom. In Odisha, Bhuneshwar is known for the Khandeshila inscriptions carved on the roof of the elephant cave. Kharvel studied writing, literature, literature, etc. until the age of 15. After obtaining education, he became a prince. After nine years of experience as a ruler, he was crowned. Later, he began to travel to distant countries. He repaired the bank of his capital, which was destroyed by a terrible storm in the first year. In the second year, in the absence of Satkaldi, he sent his Chaturanga army to the west. As soon as this army reached Kanhanna near Kanhna river, Nagpur, the people of Rishikesh and Khandesh were terrified. In the third year, he advanced further and defeated the rulers of Central Maharashtra, the Rastriks and the Bhojaks. In the fifth year, he brought a canal dug by Nandraj 103 years ago in his capital to remove the shortage of water. He also made the people happy by removing the burden of Karka from the people. In the eighth year, he went to a mountain near Gorat and surrounded the palace. Therefore, the young Greek ruler Demetrius had to flee to Mathura. In the ninth year, he built a palace called Mahavijayprasad on the banks of the ancient river. In the tenth year, he again invaded North India. Next year, he defeated Pandya Raj in the south and collected various gifts such as elephants, horses, jewels, pearls. He also again rode on the Magadha and defeated the king, a friend of Bihaspati, and forced him to surrender. There is no consensus among scholars about the time of Kharvel. Some say that it happened in the beginning of the second century BC, while others say that it happened in the last phase of the first century BC. He invaded North India three times. It must have happened before the rise of Vashunga Pushyamitra.
