Note: The dynastic history of the Krishna-Godavari delta region after the Mauryan period. The sites of the Krishna delta are generally associated with the Satavahanas and the Iksvakus. However, the Satavahanas were preceded in coastal Andhra by rulers with names ending in '-Sada'. They are therefore conveniently identified as the 'Sadas of coastal Andhra'. Their coins have been chiefly reported from the Krishnaand Godavari Districts - (Coins of the Sada Dynasty by Shailendra Bhandare).
