Dhanabhuti is known through his inscriptions at Bharhut and Mathura. The main northern polities at that time were the Indo-Greeks and the Sungas.[1]

Dhanabhūti (Brahmi: 𑀥𑀦𑀪𑀽𑀢𑀺) or Vatsiputra Dhanabhūti was a 2nd or 1st-century BCE Buddhist king in Central India, and the most prominent donor for the Bharhut stupa.[2] He appears in two or three major dedicatory inscriptions at the stupa of Bharhut, and possibly in another inscription at Mathura.[3] Dhanabhuti may have been a feudatory of the Sunga Empire, or a ruler in a neighbouring territory, such as Kosala or Panchala,[4][2] or possibly a northern king from Sughana in Haryana.[5][6] or he may have also been part of the Mitra dynasty of Kosambi.[7]
