Sage of Bactria
Thank you for creating and expanding a significant number of pages on the rulers of Bactria and Gandhara. You're input, including your excellent coin-derived reliefs, has covered a big knowledge gap in wikipedia for a fascinating time in history, from the Hellenistic states, to the Kushanshahs, to the last of the Hunic emperors!

Rodents are mammals of the order Rodentia, characterized by two pairs of continuously growing incisors, one pair in the upper jaw and one pair in the lower jaw. About forty percent of all species of mammals are rodents, and they are found on all continents except Antarctica. They are the most diversified mammalian order, including mice, rats, squirrels, prairie dogs, porcupines, beavers, guinea pigs and hamsters. There are arboreal, burrowing, and semi-aquatic species. While the largest species, the capybara, can weigh as much as 66 kg (146 lb), many rodents weigh less than 100 g (3.5 oz) and have robust bodies, short limbs and long tails. They use their sharp incisors to gnaw food, defend themselves, and shape their habitat. Most eat seeds or other plant material. Many rodents live in societies with complex forms of communication, and can be monogamous, polygynous or promiscuous. The rodent fossil record dates back to the Paleocene on the supercontinent of Laurasia. (Full article...)
The Gandharvas [or Gandharas], the Sindhus, and the Sauviras fight best with their nails and lances. They are brave and endowed with great strength. Their armies are capable of vanquishing all forces. The Usinaras possess great strength and are skilled in all kinds of weapons. The Easterners are skilled in fighting from the backs of war elephants and are proficient with alternate fighting methods. The Yavanas, the Kamvojas, and those that dwell around Mathura are well skilled in fighting with bare arms. The Southerners are skilled in fighting sword in hand. (12:101)[6]
