Vatsagulma was the capital of the western branch of the Vakataka dynasty, in the Deccan of India, identified with modern Washim in Maharashtra. The branch was founded in the 4th century by Sarvasena, a son of Pravarasena I, and reached its height under Harishena in the late 5th century. The town was also a centre of learning and of Prakrit literature.
