Sarvasena I (r. c. 325 – 355 CE[1]) was a king of the Vakataka dynasty and the founder of the Vatsagulma branch of the line. He took on the title of Dharma-Maharaja and was likely an accomplished poet in Prakrit. Later writers extolled his lost work, the Harivijaya, and some of his verses were also included in the Gathasattasai.[2] Sarvasena was succeeded by his son Vindhyasena.[3]
