Simuka was an Indian king belonging to the
Satavahana dynasty. He is mentioned as the first king in a list of royals in a Satavahana inscription at
Nanaghat. In the
Puranas, the name of the first Andhra (Satavahana) king is variously spelt as Sishuka, Sindhuka, Chhismaka, Shipraka etc. These are believed to be corrupted spellings of "Simuka", resulting from copying and re-copying of manuscripts.
