'After speaking of the kings of Pāṭaliputra (mentioning Śāliśūka, the fourth successor of Asoka [c. 200 B. C.] by name), the author adds: "That when the viciously valiant Greeks, after reducing Sāketa (Oude), the Pañchāla country [probably the Doāb between the Jumna and Ganges], and Mathurā, will reach Kusumadhvaja, that is, the royal residence of Pāṭaliputra, and that then all provinces will be in disorder"' (Max Müller, *India, What can it Teach us?*, p. 298, ed. 1883; and Cunningham, *Num. Chron.*, 1890, p. 224).¹
