A.D. 124-25. [Vilivāyakura II sought to crush the rule of the Śaka Satrap Nahapāna and made war on him. He was very successful and wrested from the foreigners the territories of Gujarāt, Malwa, Kāthiāwār, parts of Central India, Berar, Nasik, Poona and the Northern Konkan. Nahapāna seems to have met his death in the war. He was succeeded by his co-regent Chashṭhana, son of Ghsamōṭika, who recovered most of the territories north of the Narbada and established a Śaka dynasty which lasted for about 250 years. He made Ujjain his capital. He was known to Ptolemy as ‘Tiasthenes’.]
