c3.s4.7

The coins bearing the name of Nahapâna contain the insignia "thunderbolt" and "arrow". Mr. Vincent A. Smith has written ("Early History of India," 3rd. Edition, page 218): "The arrow and thunderbolt of Nahapâna's coins connect him with the Parthians and the Northern Satraps Hagâna and Hagâmâsha (see Cat. coins in I. M., Vol. I., page 195)". And Nahapâna is a good old Persian name (J. R. A. S. for 1906, p. 211, No. 17.)
