Clue On Apracarajas' Relations With Yuvaraja Kharaosta?
The inscriptions refer to several well-known historical figures and also introduce some previously unknown persons. Noteworthy among the former are prince Indravarman and king Khara(y)osta who is to be identified with ruler Kharahostes or Kharaosta who previously was known from numismatics as well as Mathura Lion Capital inscriptions. The Inscription no. II also establishes that king Kharaosta was also the original owner and the silver vessel was later inherited by Apraca dynasty. Thus it very interestingly offers tantalizing hints of some close relationship between king Kharaosta and the Apraca kings of Bajaur.
