There are some grounds for the belief that the horrible tales told about Mihiragula are to some extent Brahman inventions, due to the fact that he was a sun-worshipper, who favoured Zoroastrian priests. The 'Gandhāra Brahmans' of *Rājataranginī*, Bk. i, v. 307, apparently were 'Zoroastrian Mobeds' (J. J. Modi in *Anthrop. Papers*, vol. ii (1918), p. 340). Zoroastrianism seems to have had a great hold on the Panjāb and part of Rājputāna in the sixth century.
