XXIX. A Note on One of the Inscriptions on the Mathurā Lion-Capital
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 March 2011
Extract
The explanation was given that the word Sakastana stands for Śakasthāna, with the use of the dental s for the palatal Ś, and with omission of the aspiration in the th (page 528). The word was thus taken to mean ‘the country of the Śakas,’ with, however, the observation that “the insertion of the “whole country of the Śakas in this list is remarkable, as “a similar case is not known” (page 530). And the deduction was made that the princes mentioned in these records, including the Mahachhatrava Rajula and his son the Chhatrava Śuḍasa, were “Śaka Satraps of Mathurā” (page 531).
