SATAVAHANA DYNASTY OF TELANGANA BHUDDISTS
The first mention of the Satavahana is in the Aitareya Brahmana,mentioning them to be of Vishwamitra’s lineage.In the Puranas and on their coins the dynasty is variously referred to as the Satavahanas, Satakarnis, Andhras and Andhrabhrityas. A reference to the Satavahanas by the Greek traveller Megasthenes indicates that they possessed 100,000 infantry, 1,000 elephants, and had more than 30 well built fortified towns:

Next come the Andarae, a still more powerful race, which possesses numerous villages, and thirty towns defended by walls and towers, and which supplies its king with an army of 100,000 infantry, 2,000 cavalry, and 1,000 elephants.
—Plin. Hist. Nat. VI. 21. 8-23. 11., quoting Megasthenes

The Satavahanas ruled a large and powerful empire that withstood the onslaughts from Central Asia. Aside from their military power, their commercialism and naval activity is evidenced by establishment of Indian colonies in southeast Asia for the first time in history
