Gautamiputra (r. 106-130 CE) or Gautamiputra ÅšÄtakarṇi is a king from the SÄtavÄhana dynasty of ancient India. The SÄtavÄhana lineage (known as Andhra in the PurÄṇas) once ruled much of the Deccan region and several of the AjantÄ caves at West-Khandesh (West-Khaṇá¸eÅ›a, modern Jalgaon) were carved in the 3rd century BCE when the region was ruled by kings (e.g., Gautamiputra ÅšÄtakarṇi) and descendants of the SÄtavÄhana kings.
