He hailed from the tribal community of the Sanakanikas, a tribe who possibly held the province of Vidisha.[3][4]
The Sanakanika feudatory chief of Chandragupta II, as well as his father and grandfather, bore the title Maharaja.[3] The Sanakanikas appear to have been subjugated by the powerful Gupta emperor Samudragupta, the father of Chandragupta II. Śanakanika Maharaja's father's name was 'Visnudasa', and his grandfather's name was Chagalaga.[citation needed]
