Biography
Damajadasri was one of the four sons of Davasena. Damajadasri was the youngest of his siblings. He succeeded his elder brother Vijayasena as a ruler.[2]
He most likely held the title of mahaksatrapa. There is no evidence that he would have held the office of ksatrapa.[4]
Large amounts of coins struck in name of Damajadasri have been found.[4]
Damajadasri was succeeded as Western Satrap by his nephew Rudrasena II who was a son of Viradaman.[1]

gollark: That would seem to contradict this.
gollark: Isn't it *also* the case that some states get more electoral college votes per unit of population?
