c14.s4.8
§ 26 A. About 175 or 180 A.D., we find a Nāga king re-establishing Hindu sovereignty at Mathurā. It was Virasena. The rise of Virasena is a turning point not only in the Nāga history but also in the history of Āryāvarta. His coins have been largely found in Northern India, almost all over the United Provinces, and also in the Punjab.² They are most common at Mathurā where Cunningham generally as Ne, but De appears to be the correct reading. There is nothing to indicate who Deva was.’
