Kindred of the Sun

Mihirakula was one of the most accomplished rulers of the Hephthalites, ruthlessly executing campaigns of expansion in the east throughout the 6th century AD. Indian sources record him extracting tribute from the Gupta Empire before he was captured and imprisoned. He escaped, and, finding his throne usurped by his brother, raised a rebellion against another local king. Once restored to power, Mihirakula resumed his campaigns and earned himself a reputation as one of the great enemies of the Buddhist faith. The name Mihirakula means “family of the sun” in both Sanskrit and Iranian. This demonstrates both the emerging mythological associations of the Hephthalite royal family and the ways in which they absorbed an amalgamated Iranian and Indian traditions and languages into their own.
