Sudraka

Sudraka was an Indian king and playwright.[1] Three Sanskrit plays are ascribed to him - Mricchakatika (The Little Clay Cart), Vinavasavadatta, and a bhana (short one-act monologue), Padmaprabhritaka.[1][2] Sudraka has been identified as the pen name of an Abhira king from the third century CE, either Indranigupta,[3] or Shivadatta, father of Ishwarsena.[4] According to Sten Konow, Sudraka belonged to the 3rd century A.D.

He established his kingdom in Pratisthana.[5]

Sudraka was the first Abhira king of the Andhras (Satavahanas). This monarch, commonly known to history as '''Simuka''', probably established his independence soon after the death of the great Buddhist emperor Ashoka in B.C.[6]
