The reputation and influence of Pulikêśin II. were by no means confined to India. There is an Arabic chronicle which records the fact that, in the thirty-sixth year of the reign of Khosru II. of Persia, letters and presents were interchanged between him and Pulikêśin;³ and in one of the caves at Ajaṇṭâ, there is a painting, depicting the presentation of a letter from a Persian king to an Indian king, which is supposed to commemorate the fact.⁴ The thirty-sixth year of Khosru II. was A. D. 625-26;⁵ and the communication between him and Pulikêśin, therefore, took place when the latter had been about sixteen years on the throne.
