c16.s2.11

While the title *Mahārāja* was being used by the Greek rulers of North-Western Bhāratavarṣa, the title *Rājan* was still popular with the indigenous rulers of India in the second century B.C. The Besnagar inscription⁵ of Heliodorus mentions the Indo-Greek king Antiacidas of Taxila as *Mahārāja*, but the contemporary Indian monarch Bhāgabhadra of Vidiśā as *Rājan*.
