Bhadayasa

Bhadayasa (also Bhadrayasha) was a minor Indo-Scythian ruler in the areas of Eastern Punjab and Mathura in India, during the 1st century CE. He is considered as one of the Northern Satraps.

He is mainly known through his coins, which are direct imitations of those of the Indo-Greek king Zoilos II, or the hypothetical Zoilos III.

Bhadayasa is generally considered as a successor of Rajuvula in the Eastern Punjab. However, since his coinage is copied Zoilos II or Zoilos III rather than the later Strato II or Strato III, Jakobsson places him before the rule of these last kings, from around 35 BCE.
