[1] Around the middle of the 6th century CE, the Alchons, after having extensively invaded the heartland of India, had withdrawn from Kashmir, Punjab and Gandhara, and going back west across the Khyber Pass they resettled in Kabulistan.

[1] The legend of the coins of Toramana II were previously mistakenly read as "srī nara" and "nara", leading to suggestions that there was an Alchon Hun king named "Narana" or "Narendra".

[1] Since a 2013 study by Matthias Pfisterer, it has been recognized that the legends on these coins should be read as "srī tora" and "tora", hence the attribution to a "Toramana II".

[1] According to Michael Alram, the supposed king "Narana" or "Narendra" should be "deleted without substitution".

This coin type belongs to another ruler, Toramana of Kashmir, a probable descendant of the Alchon Huns in Kashmir,[8] and may bear a relation with the "Toramana" of the Gonanda dynasty (II) mentioned in Kalhana's Rajatarangini.
