Rājuvula (c. late 1st century BC–early 1st century AD) was an Indo-Scythian ruler who established his power in the Mathura region of northern India, initially bearing the title Kṣatrapa (Satrap) and later Mahākṣatrapa (Great Satrap). He is particularly well known from his bilingual silver coinage, much of which closely imitates the coins of the Indo-Greek king Strato I, and from the important Mathura Lion Capital inscription, which records members of his family and associates. Rājuvula appears to have supplanted the last Indo-Greek authority around Mathura and founded a powerful line of local Śaka satraps, succeeded most notably by his son Śoḍāsa.
