Talagan copper scroll

The scroll, dated to 492/3, mentions the four Alchon Huns kings Khingila, Toramana, Javukha, and Mehama (who was reigning at the time) as donors to a Buddhist reliquary stupa.

"In the sixty-eighth year on the seventh day of the bright half of the month Karttika: On this day this caitya of the Realized One containing relics was established by the lord of the great monastery, the son of Opanda, the Talaganika-Devaputra-Sahi, .

"The scroll was commissioned during the reign of Alchon Huns ruler Mehama in 493/94,[2] slightly after the occupation of the Buddhist area centered on Taxila around 460, but before the major invasions of the Indian mainland, known as the "Hunnic Wars" (from 496 to 534).

Besides Mehama, the Alkhan kings Khingila, Toramana and Javukha are also listed as donors, although it is not known whether they were still alive, or whether their named were just summoned for the dedication.
