Vasudeva Kanva

Vasudeva Kanva

Vasudeva Kanva (75 - 66 B.C.E.) was the founder of the Kanva dynasty. He was originally an Amatya (minister) of last Sunga ruler Devabhuti. Bana's Harshacharita informs us that he came to power after the death of Devabhuti by a daughter of his slave woman disguised as his queen. He was succeeded by his son Bhumimitra.
