The word KÚSHÁN in the inscription has been treated as a territorial unit; evidently the dynastic name (after the name of the first king Kushana) gave the territorial designation of Kúshán to the Balkh-Badakshan region. The Kúshán Sháh here must be the Kushan emperor, to be mentioned even before the Roman emperor. The group of kings headed by these two emperors (lines 44-45 of the Pārsík text, and lines 41-42 of the Pahlavík text) are undoubtedly independent kings. - [Previous: c22.20](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.jayaswal-1933.c22.20) - [Next: c22.22](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.jayaswal-1933.c22.22) - [Up: c22](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.jayaswal-1933.c22) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.jayaswal-1933.c22.21](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.jayaswal-1933.c22.21) · Pramāṇa
