Marasimha II Satyavakya was a king of the Western Ganga Dynasty, 23rd in the succession. He was the successor of Marulaganga Neetimarga, his half-brother who reigned 961–963. He was succeeded by Rachamalla IV Satyavakya, his eldest son. He was a vassal of the declining Rashtrakuta empire and served them until their collapse.[4]
His reign is considered as a prelude to the decline and fall of the Ganga Kingdom.[5] His two sons- Rachmalla IV and Rachmalla V (Rakkasaganga) were the last kings of the Western Ganga Dynasty.
