From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Vasisthiputra Sri Pulamavi (Telugu: వసిష్ఠిపుత్ర శ్రీ పులుమావి, vasiṣṭhiputra śrī pulumāvi ?), (Marathi: वासिष्ठीपुत्र पुलुमावि) (r.78–114 CE) was a Satavahana king, and the son of Gautamiputra Satakarni. He was mentioned by Ptolemy under the name Siriptolemaios (Shri-Pulumayi).[1]
He was succeeded by his younger brother Vashishtiputra Satakarni.
He was a contemporary of the Western satrap Chastana.
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.
In his rule, the mother of Gautamiputra Satakarni named as Gautami Balasri laid an inscription called as Nasik Inscription
