 This is the only known epigraphical source for Simuka.This also helps to date early Satavahana Empire rulers, as the Naneghat inscriptions are dated to 70-60 BCE, and considered on palaeographical grounds to be posterior to the Nasik Caves inscription of Kanha (probably Simuka's brother) in , dated to 100-70 BCE.The Nanaghat inscription has been a major finding.
