Notes
It is possible that this king represents a transfer of power in the region between the Assurite kings to a saka branch of the House of Achaemenes. The name Kandalanu may mean "Of Kanada" (rather than "the club footed king"). There is an argument to be made for research in this direction as onomastics indicate a possibility of relationship and the time frame for the power shift would be within the realm of possibility.

The name of the Gandhāris is attested in the Rigveda and in ancient inscriptions dating back to Achaemenid Persia. The Behistun inscription listing the 23 territories of King Darius I (519 BC) includes Gandāra along with Bactria and Thatagush (ϑataguš, Satagydia). In the book "Histories" by Herodotus, Gandhara is named as a source of tax collections for King Darius. The Gandhāris, along with the Balhika (Bactrians), Mūjavants, Angas, and the Magadhas, are also mentioned in the Atharvaveda, as distant people.
