Vasujyeshtha (Template:Reign), also known as Sujyeshtha, Vasujyestha, and Sujyestha, was the third Shunga Emperor, who reigned over what is now Northern and Central India.[1][2] He succeeded his father, the Emperor Agnimitra upon the latter's death in 141 BCE.[3] His reign, attested to by coinage, is not well documented and little is known about him.[4] He is credited with successfully completing his grandfather Pushyamitra Shunga's Ashvamedha Yajna and defeating forces of the Indo-Greek Kingdom along the banks of the Sindhu River. His achievements are mentioned briefly in the play Malavikagnimitra, composed during the later Gupta era by Kalidasa.
