The Gandharva country was situated on both banks of the Indus River[1]and on its sides, two sons named Taksha and Pushkal of Bharata settled their respective capitals named Taxila and Pushkaravati.[2] Taxila was on the eastern coast of the Indus river. After the Mahabharata war, Parikshit's descendants retained authority there for a few generations and Janamejaya did his Nagayagya there.[3] During the time of Gautama Buddha, King Pukkusati of Gandhara sent his envoy to Magadharaj Bimbisara. capital of the Achaemenid territories in northwestern ancient Indian subcontinent following the Achaemenid conquest of the Indus Valley around 515 BCE.
