Indo-Greek King Zoilos alias Bhadrayasha (1300-1275 BCE).—Indo-Greeks might have started using Indian names for themselves along with the names in Greek. Indo-Greek King Zoilos must be the first who also had Indian name of Bhadrayasha. Historians wrongly concluded that Bhadrayasha was one of the Northern Satraps but the Kharoshthi legend on the coin is nothing but the exact translation of Greek legend into Prakrit.
