Gautami Putra took a huge army and conquered the entire south path and central India. His vehicles provided the waters of three seas (East Sea, West Sea and Indian Ocean in the south.) - His kingdom Rishika (the region between Godavari and Krishnaya) Aramaka (the coastal province of Godavari) "Mulak" (around Paithan) Northern part of) Anup (Nimand district) Vidarbha (Berar) Eastern Malwa, extended over Avanti. All the kings accepted his rule."

There were also many Kshatriya states in these states. That is why Gautami's son Shatkarni is said to have killed the pride and honor of the Kshatriyas.
Administration - Gataki's son Shatkarni was not only a great conqueror but also an ideal ruler. He was a participant in the sorrow and happiness of the people. He considered the sorrow and happiness of every person of the subjects as his own sorrow and happiness. He was going to increase the fame of all the family members. The subjects were happy during his reign, he did not impose more taxes on his subjects and took recourse to corrective measures without being harsh with the criminals. Inscriptions and Puranas do not give a satisfactory description of the governance system of Gautami Putra. Yajnavalkya Smriti was written in this period, so the Andhra Satavahana system of governance has its full imprint on it. This shows that the central government of the state was strong and the judicial system was very well organized.
