Hagamasha

Hagamasha's name is attested on his coins in the Brahmi form Hagāmaṣa,[1] which is derived from the Saka name *Frakāmaxša, meaning "whose chariot proceeds in front".

[2] In central India, the Indo-Scythians are thought to have conquered the area of Mathura over Indian kings around 60 BCE, thus founding the Northern Satraps.

[3] In the archaeological excavations of Sonkh, near Mathura, the earliest coins of the Kshatrapa levels were those of Hagamasha.
