Life
He is said to have kidnapped the sister of Kalakacharya II (a Jain monk).[1] According to Merutunga's Vicarasreni, he rose to power in 74 BCE and was defeated by Sakas in 61 BCE.[2] But Merutuṅga's works are generally regarded to be of poor quality, as compared with his contemporaries and with modern historians.[3]
