Шаблон:Infobox royalty Abhiraka (Greek: AYBIPAKOY, Brahmi: 𑀅𑀪𑀺𑀭𑀓 Abhiraka), also Aubheraka, Aubhirakes, or formerly Aghudaka, was an Ābhīra king and a member of the Kshaharata dynasty of the Western Satraps circa 30 CE. He was the father of Bhumaka, and the grandfather of Nahapana.[1][2][3]
He is known through his coins, which are found in the northern Pakistan area of Chukhsa, and then later in the south, suggesting a southern migration at some point, possibly in search for trade. His coins have been found in Afghanistan and as far as Arab states of the Persian Gulf.[4][3] The coinage, reminiscent of the coinage of the Indo-Greeks, has on the obverse a winged Nike with Greek legend "CATRAPATOY CATRAΠOY AYBIPAKOY" ("Abhiraka, Satrap of the Satraps"), and the reverse shows a lion or a horse facing a wheel, with Brahmi or Kharoshthi legend around Khaharatasa Khatrapasa Abhirakasa jayatasa Abhirakasa" ("The Khsaharata Satrap Abhiraka, victory to Abhiraka").[5]
"Abhiraka" may also mean "member of the tribe of the Abhiras",[6] and a connection between "Abhiraka" and the tribe of the Abhiras has also been proposed.[7]
