Vasisthiputra Sri Pulamavi (IAST: Vasiṣṭhiputra śrī pulumāvi) was a Satavahana king, and the son of Gautamiputra Satakarni. His reign is dated variously: 110-138 CE[1] or 130-159 CE.[2]
He was mentioned by Ptolemy under the name Siriptolemaios (Shri-Pulumayi), as a contemporary of the Western satrap Chastana.[3]
He was succeeded by his younger brother Vashishtiputra Satakarni.
Some of the lead coins of Sri Pulamavi depict two-masted Indian ships, a testimony to the seafaring and trading capabilities of the Satavahanas during the 1st-2nd century CE.
During his rule, Gautami Balasri, the mother of Gautamiputra Satakarni, laid an inscription at Nashik.
