Kharapallana (Brahmi: Kha-ra-pa-llā-na, Kharapallāna; Greek: Ancient Greek: Χαροβαλανο Kharobalano[1]) was an Indo-Scythian Northern Satrap who ruled around c. 130 CE.
Kharapallana's name is attested in the Greek form Kharobalano (Ancient Greek: Χαροβαλανο)[1] and in the Brahmi form Kharapallāna, which are derived from the Saka name *Xāravalāna, meaning "splendid youth".
[2] He is mentioned as a "Great Satrap" (Brahmi:, Mahakṣatrapa, "Great Satrap") of Kushan ruler Kanishka I on an inscription discovered in Sarnath, and dated to the 3rd year of Kanishka (c. 130 CE), in which Kanishka mentions he was, together with Satrap Vanaspara, governor of the eastern parts of his Empire.
[4] Vanaspara and Kharapallana were ruling for Kanishka over the eastern provinces of the Empire, including the Benares region.
