The existence of some of the kings named in the list is avouched by independent evidence. Daçaratha is known by three inscriptions bestowing on the Ājīvika sect caves in the Nāgārjunī hills²: Samprati is mentioned in the Jain tradition as a convert of their patriarch Suhastin³. Jaloka is celebrated in the history of Kashmīr, as a great propagator of Çaivism and for a time a persecutor of the Buddhists, further as having freed the country from an invasion of Mlecchas, who would be Greeks, and a conqueror who extended his dominions as far as Kanyākubja or Kanauj.
