Kalhaṇa, the historian of Kashmir, as we have seen⁴, reproduces from earlier accounts the story of Jalauka, a son of Aśoka, and his successor in Kashmir ; Jalauka is said to have freed his country from an invasion of *mlecchas* (Greeks?) and extended his dominions as far as Kanauj ; he was also a great patron of Śaivism.
