v1.c36.60

The extension of the Kushāṇa power from the upper Kābul valley to N.W. India (Pushkalāvatī or W. Gandhāra) had taken place when the Panjtār inscription was set up (year 122 = 63—4 A.D.). The Kushāṇa king mentioned in the inscription may be either W'ima Kadphises or one of his viceroys—possibly Kara Kadphises whose coins are found in the same region (pp. 582, n. 1, 584).
