| B.C. | |
| | Pushyamitra (184–148 B.C.), originally king of Vidiçā and commander-in-chief of the last Maurya emperor, seized the Maurya dominions and reigned at Pāṭaliputra (pp. 517–8). |
| | Deprived of the kingdom of Çākala by the Yavanas (probably by Menander) (p. 519). |
| | War between Vidiçā, now governed by his son Agnimitra as viceroy, and Vidarbha (assumed date c. 170 B.C.) (pp. 519, 600). |
| | Defeat of the Yavanas on the banks of the Sindhu by his grandson Vasumitra (p. 520). |
| | Invasion of his capital, Pāṭaliputra, by the Yavanas (probably under Menander) (pp. 544, 551). |
| | Deprived of the kingdom of Avanti (Ujjayinī) by the Andhra king Çātakarṇi (pp. 531–2). |
| | Later Çuṅga kings:—Agnimitra (p. 520); Vasumitra or Sumitra (p. 521); Odraka, probably contemporary with Bahasatimitra, king of Kauçāmbī (pp. 521, 525); Bhāga or Bhāgavata, contemporary with Antialcidas, the Yavana king of Takshaçilā, c. 90 B.C. according to the Purāṇas (pp. 521–2, 558); Devabhūti (p. 522). |
| | Feudatories of the Çuṅgas at Bhārhut, Mathurā, Kauçāmbī, and Ahicchatra (pp. 523–6). |
| 171–138 | Mithradates I, king of Parthia. |
| 165 | The Yueh-chi defeated by the Huns began their migration westwards (p. 565). |
| 162–25 | Yavana princes of the house of Eucratides. |
| | Eucratides deposed Euthydemus from the throne of Bactria c. 175 B.C. (p. 446). |
| | Conquered the Kābul valley, Ariāna (Arachosia and Aria), and N.W. India before 162 B.C. (pp. 447, 554). |
| | Evidence of his rule in Kāpiça as successor of Apollodotus I (p. 555), in Takshaçilā (p. 556), and possibly in Nicaea (ibid.). |
| | Deprived of his conquests in Ariāna by Mithradates I between 162 and 155 B.C., the assumed date of his death (pp. 457, 554). |
| | Heliocles, probably the son of Eucratides and his successor in both Bactria and India, ended his rule in Bactria c. 135 B.C. (pp. 460–1, 556). |
| | Evidence of his rule in the upper Kābul valley and in Pushkalāvatī (p. 557). |
| | Extended the conquests of Eucratides—probably to the east of the Jhelum—in the reign of Strato I (p. 553). |
| | Antialcidas, a member of the house of Eucratides and one of his successors in the Kābul valley (p. 558). |
| | He may have been the son and immediate successor of Heliocles (pp. 461, 559); on this assumption his accession may be conjecturally dated 120 B.C. (p. 522). |
| | Evidence of his rule in Takshaçilā (p. 558); in this kingdom he was at one time associated with Lysias, whose family is uncertain (p. 559). |
| | As king of Takshaçilā he was contemporary with the Çuṅga king of Vidiçā, Bhāga or Bhāgavata (Bhāgabhadra), whose 14th year may be estimated from the Purāṇas as c. 90 B.C. (pp. 521–2, 558). |
