During his reign the last of the Turkī Shāhiya kings, the descendants of Kanishka, was overthrown by the Brahman Lalliya. The Turkī Shāhiya kings had ruled in Kābul until the capture of that city by the Arab general Yaḳūb-i-Lāis in A. D. 870 (A. H. 256).³ After that date the capital was shifted to Ohind, on the Indus. The dynasty founded by Lalliya, known as that of the Hindu Shāhiyas, lasted until A. D. 1021, when it was extirpated by the Muhammadans.⁴
