The Ikshvakus emerged in the Krishna-Guntur region following the decline of Satavahana power in the eastern part of the peninsula.
The Ikshvaku dynasty (300 CE- 400 CE), is named after the legendary King Ikshvaku.
Ikshvakus made “Vijayapuri” as capital and ruled the areas present on both the sides of Krishna River.
The other name for Vijayapuri was Sri Parvata, so Ikshvakus are also known as Sri Parvateyas (Mentioned in Puranas).
The Mountain ranges from NagarjunaKonda to Srisailam are known as Sri Parvata”. Old name of Sri Parvata is Nallamalli”. They worshiped the symbol “Ikshu”. In Sanskrit, Ikshu means Sugar Cane.
As per Alluri Inscription, Ikshvakus are feudatories to Satavahanas.
Alluri inscription was issued by Veera Purusha Datta.
