c18.s1.71

A Māṇikiālā inscription affords the bare mention of a **Satrap of Kāpiśi**, who was the son of the Satrap Granavhryaka.² A Kābul Museum Stone Inscription of the year 83³ discloses the name of a Satrap of Puspapura named Tiravharṇa. ‘Puspapura’, the city of flowers, may have reference to Pushkarāvatī (lotus-city). The name of Śivasena, ‘the Kshatrapa in the town of Abhisāraprastha’ occurs in the legend of a copper seal ring found in the Pañjāb.¹ The territory of the three Satraps may have corresponded to Yona, Gandhāra and Kamboja of Aśokan epigraphs.
