There are two phases of Śaka-Kushāṇa rule in India, viz. an earlier one of Kshaharāta Śakas, Liyaka and Patika at Taxila and Ranjuvala and Shoḍāsa at Mathura, of Nahpāna and Ushavadāta at Ujjayinī, all of them ruling in the first century B. C. (c. 80 B. C.-57 B. C.) The latter phase coincides with the reigns of the two Kadphises rulers, Kujula and Vema (c. 1 A. D.-7 8 A. D.) and of Kanishka and his successors (c. 78 A. D.-176 A. D.)
