Indo-Parthian Kingdom

The Indo-Parthian Kingdom was a Parthian


kingdom founded by Gondophares, and active from Indo-Parthian Kingdom
19 CE to c. 226 CE. At their zenith, they ruled an area
19 CE–226 CE
covering parts of eastern Iran, various parts of
Afghanistan and the northwest regions of the Indian South-Asia

YUEZHI
subcontinent (most of modern Pakistan and parts of 40 CE

northwestern India). The rulers may have been


members of the House of Suren, and the kingdom has
even been called the "Suren Kingdom" by some YAUDHEYAS

authors.[2] MALAVAS

Gondophares I and his successors Satraps

Gondophares I originally seems to have been a ruler of Seistan in what is


today eastern Iran, probably a vassal or relative of the Apracarajas. He may
have replaced previous Parthian governors of Seistan, such as
Tanlismaidates.[7]

Around 20–10 BC,[8] he made conquests in the former Indo-Scythian


kingdom, perhaps after the death of the important ruler Azes. Gondophares
became the ruler of areas comprising Arachosia, Seistan, Sindh, Punjab, and
Portrait of Gondophares, the Kabul valley, but it does not seem as though he held territory beyond
founder of the Indo- eastern Punjab.[9] Gondophares called himself "King of Kings", a Parthian

Zeionises and Rajuvula, as well as anonymous Scythians who struck
imitations of Azes coins. The Ksaharatas also held sway in Gujarat, perhaps
just outside Gondophares' dominions.

After the death of Gondophares I, the empire started to fragment.


The name or title Gondophares was adapted by Sarpedones, who
become Gondophares II and was possibly son of the first
Gondophares. Even though he claimed to be the main ruler,
Sarpedones’ rule was shaky and he issued a fragmented coinage in
Sind, eastern Punjab and Arachosia in southern Afghanistan. The
most important successor was Abdagases, Gondophares’ nephew,
who ruled in Punjab and possibly in the homeland of Seistan. After
a short reign, Sarpedones seems to have been succeeded by Ancient Buddhist monastery Takht-i-
Orthagnes, who became Gondophares III Gadana. Orthagnes Bahi (a UNESCO World Heritage
ruled mostly in Seistan and Arachosia, with Abdagases further east, Site) constructed by the Indo-
during the first decades AD, and was briefly succeeded by his son Parthians.
Ubouzanes Coin (https://web.archive.org/web/20051001231141/htt
p://www.grifterrec.com/coins/par_rel/print/i_ubouzanes.jpg). After
20 AD, a king named Sases, a nephew of the Apracaraja ruler Aspavarma, took over Abdagases’ territories
and became Gondophares IV Sases. According to Senior, this is the Gondophares referred to in the Takht-
i-Bahi inscription.[10]

There were other minor kings: Sanabares was an ephemeral usurper in Seistan, who called himself Great
King of Kings, and there was also a second Abdagases Coin (https://web.archive.org/web/2004041100204

called Satavastres Coin (https://web.archive.org/web/20051001231145/http://www.grifterrec.com/coins/par
_rel/print/i_satavastres.jpg), and an anonymous prince who claimed to be brother of the king Arsaces, in
that case an actual member of the ruling dynasty in Parthia.
But the Indo-Parthians never regained the position of Gondophares I, and from the middle of the 1st
century AD the Kushans under Kujula Kadphises began absorbing the northern Indian part of the
kingdom.[11]

Rulers of Turan and Sakastan (160-230 AD)

The Indo-Parthians managed to retain control of Turan and


Sakastan, which they ruled until the fall of the Parthian Empire at
the hands of the Sasanian Empire circa 230 CE.[11] Pahares I (160-
230 AD) was a ruler of Turan following the partition of the remains
of the Indo-Parthian kingdom.[12] The kingdom of Sakastan was
ruled by a second king with the name Sanabares II (160-175
AD).[13] The Kingdoms of Turan and Sakastan ended when they Coinage of Pahares I, Indo-Parthian

Archaeology and sources


The city of Taxila is thought to have been a capital of the Indo-
Parthians. Large strata were excavated by Sir John Marshall with a
quantity of Parthian-style artifacts. The nearby temple of Jandial is
usually interpreted as a Zoroastrian fire temple from the period of
the Indo-Parthians.

Some ancient writings describe the presence of the Indo-Parthians


in the area, such as the story of Saint Thomas the Apostle, who was
recruited as a carpenter to serve at the court of king "Gudnaphar" The Hellenistic temple with Ionic
(thought to be Gondophares) in India. The Acts of Thomas columns at Jandial, Taxila, is usually
describes in chapter 17 Thomas' visit to king Gudnaphar in interpreted as a Zoroastrian fire
northern India; chapters 2 and 3 depict him as embarking on a sea temple from the period of the Indo-
voyage to India, thus connecting Thomas to the west coast of India. Parthians.

As Senior points out,[15] this Gudnaphar has usually been


identified with the first Gondophares, who has thus been dated after the advent of Christianity, but there is
no evidence for this assumption, and Senior's research shows that Gondophares I could be dated even
before 1 AD. If the account is even historical, Saint Thomas may have encountered one of the later kings
who bore the same title.

The Greek philosopher Apollonius of Tyana is related by


Philostratus in Life of Apollonius Tyana to have visited India, and
specifically the city of Taxila around 46 AD. He describes
constructions of the Greek type,[16]
probably referring to Sirkap,
and explains that the Indo-Parthian king of Taxila, named Phraotes,
received a Greek education at the court of his father and spoke
Greek fluently:

"Tell me, O King, how you acquired such a command


of the Greek tongue, and whence you derived all your
philosophical attainments in this place?"[17]
[...]-"My father, after a Greek education, brought me to
the sages at an age somewhat too early perhaps, for I
was only twelve at the time, but they brought me up
like their own son; for any that they admit knowing the
Greek tongue they are especially fond of, because
they consider that in virtue of the similarity of his Portrait on Gondophares on one of
disposition he already belongs to themselves."[18] his coins.

The Periplus of the Erythraean Sea is a surviving 1st century guide


to the routes commonly being used for navigating the Arabian Sea. It describes the presence of Parthian
kings fighting with each other in the area of Sindh, a region traditionally known at that time as "Scythia"
due to the previous rule of the Indo-Scythians there:

"This river (Indus) has seven mouths, very shallow and marshy, so that they are not
navigable, except the one in the middle; at which by the shore, is the market-town,
Barbaricum. Before it there lies a small island, and inland behind it is the metropolis of
Scythia, Minnagara; it is subject to Parthian princes who are constantly driving each other
out." Periplus of the Erythraean Sea, Chap 38[19]

An inscription from Takht-i-Bahi bears two dates, one in the regnal year 26 of the Maharaja Guduvhara
(again thought to be a Gondophares), and the year 103 of an unknown era.[20]

Religion of the Indo-Parthians

We do not know the religion of the House of Suren although we


know they were in religious conflict with the Zoroastrian Arsacid
Dynasty.[21] Unlike the Indo-Greeks or Indo-Scythians, there are
no explicit records of Indo-Parthian rulers supporting Buddhism,
such as religious dedications, inscriptions, or even legendary
accounts. Also, although Indo-Parthian coins generally closely
follow Greek numismatics, they never display the Buddhist triratna
symbol (apart from the later Sases), nor do they ever use depictions
of the elephant or the bull, possible religious symbols which were
profusely used by their predecessors. They are thought to have
retained Zoroastrianism, being of Iranian extraction themselves.
Devotees at Zoroastrian fire-altar. This Iranian mythological system was inherited from them by the
later Kushans who ruled from the Peshawar-Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa
region of Pakistan.
Coins of the Hindu deity Shiva have also been found issued in the reign of Gondophares I.[22][23][24]

Representation of Indo-Parthian devotees

On their coins and in the art of Gandhara, Indo-Parthians are


depicted with short crossover jackets and large baggy trousers,
possibly supplemented by chap-like over-trousers.[25] Their jackets
are adorned with rows of decorative rings or medals. Their hair is
usually bushy and contained with a headband, a practise largely
adopted by the Parthians from the 1st century AD.[26]

Individuals in Indo-Parthian attire are sometimes shown as actors in


Buddhist devotional scenes. It is usually considered that most of the
excavations that were done at Sirkap near Taxila by John Marshall
relate to Indo-Parthian layers, although more recent scholarship
Indo-Parthian King
sometimes relates them to the Indo-Greeks instead.[27] These
archaeological researches provided a quantity of Hellenistic
artifacts combined with elements of Buddhist worship (stupas).
Some other temples, such as nearby Jandial may have been used as a Zoroastrian fire temple.

Buddhist sculptures

The statues found at Sirkap in the late Scythian to Parthian level (level 2, 1–60 AD) suggest an already
developed state of Gandharan art at the time or even before Parthian rule. A multiplicity of statues, ranging
from Hellenistic gods, to various Gandharan lay devotees, are combined with what are thought as some of
the early representations of the Buddha and Bodhisattvas. Today, it is still unclear when the Greco-
Buddhist art of Gandhara exactly emerged, but the findings in Sirkap do indicate that this art was already
highly developed before the advent of the Kushans.

Stone palettes

Numerous stone palettes found in Gandhara are considered as good representatives of Indo-Parthian art.
These palettes combine Greek and Persian influences, together with a frontality in representations which is
considered as characteristic of Parthian art. Such palettes have only been found in archaeological layers
corresponding to Indo-Greek, Indo-Scythian and Indo-Parthian rule, and are essentially unknown the
preceding Mauryan layers or the succeeding Kushan layers.[28]

Very often these palettes represent people in Greek dress in mythological scenes, but a few of them
represent people in Parthian dress (head-bands over bushy hair, crossed-over jacket on a bare chest,
jewelry, belt, baggy trousers). A palette from the Naprstek Museum in Prague shows an Indo-Parthian king
seated crossed-legged on a large sofa, surrounded by two attendants also in Parthian dress. They are shown
drinking and serving wine.

Silk Road transmission of Buddhism


Some pockets of Parthian rule remained in the East, even after the
takeover by the Sassanids in 226. From the 2nd century several
Central-Asian Buddhist missionaries appeared in the Chinese
capital cities of Loyang and sometimes Nanjing, where they
particularly distinguished themselves by their translation work. The
first known translators of Buddhist texts into Chinese are actually
Parthian missionaries, distinguished in Chinese by their Parthian
surname "An", for "Anshi", "country of the Arsacids". Gandhara Buddhist reliquary with

catalogue of the coinage of the period. Senior's chronology is based on the existence of only
one king Azes, a theory that was vindicated when it was shown that a coin of the so-called
Azes II was overstruck with a type attributed to Azes I (see Senior, "The final nail in the coffin
of Azes II", Journal of the Oriental Numismatic Society 197, 2008).
