c5.92

126 Chashṭaṇa, son of Zamotika, contemporary and apparently successor of Nahapāna. Ptolemy mentions him as Tiastenēs, the contemporary of the Andhra, Puḷumāyi. To the Western Kshatrapa dominions, which included, generally speaking, Kachh and Gujarāt, Chashṭaṇa seems to have added the greater part of Western Rājputāna and Mālava, making Ujjain his capital. His son Jayadāman succeeded him.—JRAS. 1890, 643 ff. IA. xxi, 205. B.ASSI. i, 4.
