Aji Sâka, from whom the Buddhist rulers of Java claimed descent, was doubtless a Prince of the Sâkas, or Indo-Scythians, who invaded the Græco-Baktrian kingdom of Gandhara between 140 and 130 b.c., and founded a dynasty there. Being expelled from that country by fresh hordes of invaders, the Sâkas entered India and founded a kingdom in the peninsula of Kâthiâwâr which gradually extended over a great part of the adjacent country.
