The style of the Yaudheya coins being an adaptation of the Kanishka type and their being found from Mathurá to Saháranpur where Kanishka ruled is a proof that the Yaudheyas wrested from the successors of Kanishka the greater part of the North-West Provinces. This is not to be understood to be the Yaudheyas' first conquest in India. They are known to be a very old tribe who after a temporary suppression by Kanishka must have again risen to power with the decline of Kushán rule under Kanishka's successors Huvishka (A.D. 100-123) or Vasudeva (A.D. 123-150 ?) the latter of whom was a contemporary of Rudradáman. [118] It is probably to this increase of Yaudheya power that Rudradáman's inscription refers as making them arrogant and intractable. Their forcible extermination is not to be understood literally but in the Indian hyperbolic fashion. The remark regarding the conquest of Sátakarni lord of Dakshinápatha is as follows: 'He who has obtained glory because he did not destroy Sátakarni, the lord of the Dekhan, on account of there being no distance in relationship, though he twice really conquered him.' [119] As Sátakarni is a dynastic name applied to several of the Ándhra kings, the question arises Which of the Sátakarnis did Rudradáman twice defeat? Of the two Western India kings mentioned by Ptolemy one Tiastanes with his capital at Ozene or Ujjain [120] has been identified with Chashtana; the other Siri Ptolemaios or Polemaios, with his royal seat at Baithana or Paithan, [121] has been identified with the Pulumáyi Vásishthíputra of the Násik cave inscriptions. These statements of Ptolemy seem to imply that Chashtana and Pulumáyi were contemporary kings reigning at Ujjain and Paithan. The evidence of their coins also shows that if not contemporaries Chashtana and Pulumáyi were not separated by any long interval. We know from the Násik inscriptions and the Puránas that Pulumáyi was the successor of Gautamíputra Sátakarni and as Gautamíputra Sátakarni is mentioned as the exterminator of the Kshaharáta race (and the period of this extermination has already been shown to be almost immediately after Nahapána's death), there is no objection to the view that Chashtana, who was the next Kshatrapa after Nahapána, and Pulumáyi, who was the successor of Gautamíputra, were contemporaries. We have no positive evidence to determine who was the immediate successor of Pulumáyi, but the only king whose inscriptions are found in any number after Pulumáyi is Gautamíputra Yajña Srí Sátakarni. His Kanheri inscription recording gifts made in his reign and his coin found among the relics of the Sopára stúpa built also in his reign prove that he held the North Konkan. The Sopára coin gives the name of the father of Yajñasrí. Unfortunately the coin is much worn. Still the remains of the letters constituting the name are sufficient to show they must be read caturapana Chaturapana. [122] A king named Chaturapana is mentioned in one of the Nánághát inscriptions where
