THE Scythian (Çaka) and Parthian (Pahlava) invaders of India are often mentioned in Sanskrit literature, and nearly always in association with each other and with the Yavanas. But, as this literature is not historical, we must turn to other sources—to Greek and Chinese historians, to the inscriptions of Persia and India, and to coins—for information as to their origin and their rule in India.
