________________ Sec. V STUDIES IN THE BHAGAWATI SŪTRA 517 India during the Achamenjd rule over this region, as it is evidenced in the classical Greek accounts and the epigraphic and numismatic records of the Achamenids. The Indo-Persian trade-relation established by the Indian merchants is mentioned in the Avašyaka Cūrni, the Uttarādhyayana Tikā and it is also supported by the account of Kālakācārya-Kathānaka. The presence of the female attendants of Pārasa in the North-East of India during the time of Lord Mahāvīra appears to be a historical fact in the Light of the evidences furnished by the classical Greek accounts and Persian records—both epigraphic and numismatic. The Ajhole Inscription of Pulakeśī? II, shows that the diplomatic relation with Persia was established by him late in the 7th Century A. D. Bhuttuyās The Bhuttuyās may be identified with the people of ancient Bhota country the name of which is still preserved in that of modern Bhūtān. 1 Aihole Inscription of Pulakesi II, See Bombay Gazetteer Vol.1. : Bhs, 3. 2. 143 Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
