The correct answer is

Mayurasarman

The Kadamba dynasty was an ancient royal house that ruled parts of present-day Karnataka with its capital at Banavasi.

It was founded in the 4th century CE by Mayurasarman (Mayuravarma), a Brahmin who took up arms and used guerrilla warfare against the Pallavas.

After establishing his independent kingdom, he became the first ruler of the Kadambas, and later kings adopted the Varma suffix.

Hence, the Kadamba dynasty was founded by Mayurasarman.
