India history and geography
: academia.edu: The Chronology of Ancient Gandhara and BactriaThe origin of the Western Saka Kshatrapas.鈥擲aka Kshatrapas became the military officials of Indo-Pahlavas (Gondopharid dynasty) after the fall of Indo-Scythian empire around 766 BCE. Jain sources tell us that Kalakacharya wanted to take revenge on Gardabhilla, the king of Ujjain. He crossed Indus river around 724 BCE and met many Saka satraps. He motivated them to get rid of their inferior status under Indo-Pahlava kings and invade on Ujjain to become independent kings. Kalakacharya succeeded in his mission and brought 95 Saka satraps to Ujjain. These Saka satraps defeated Gardabhilla and became the kings of Ujjain in 723 BCE. They reigned for 4 years but Vikramaditya I drove them away and founded a powerful Malava kingdom in 719 BCE. It appears that these Saka satraps (kshatrapas) did not go back to their native place after the defeat. One group of these satraps (led by the forefathers of Chashtana) settled in the region close to Girnar, Gujarat whereas another group (led by the forefathers of Kshaharata Bhumaka) settled in the region close to Nasik, Maharashtra.
