| 183 | Sāgala | A city—capital of Madda | IV, 230 ; V, 283, 285, 290. | It is equivalent to Sanskrit Sākala Cf. M. B. H.—*tataḥ sākala-(sāgala) madhyetya Madrānām puṭabhedanam*. P. H. A. I. p. 43. It should not be confused with the Sangala of the Greeks which is identical with Saṅkala of Pāṇini : C. A. G. I., p. 686. McCrindle, *Ancient India*, p. 37 note. Sāgala, however, has been identified more correctly with Siālkoṭ in the Lahore division : C. A. G. I., p. 686 ; Smith, *Early History of India*, (3rd Ed.) p. 75. It was destroyed by the Macedonians, but was subsequently rebuilt by Demetrios, one of the Greco-Bactrian Kings who, in honour of his father Euthydemos, named the city Euthydemia. *I. A.*, 1884, p. 350. |
