Abisares

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Abisares (or Abhisara⁽¹⁾; in Greek Αβισαρης), called Embisarus (Eμβισαρoς) by Diodorus,⁽²⁾ was an Indian king beyond the river Hydaspes, whose territory lay in the mountains, sent embassies to Alexander the Great both before and after the conquest of Porus in 326 BC, although inclined to espouse the side of the latter. Alexander not only allowed him to retain his kingdom, but increased it, and on his death appointed his son as his successor. ⁽³⁾ The kingdom of Abhisara finds reference in ancient Indian texts also. In epic times and Buddhist times, it had formed integral part of Ancient Kamboja Mahajanapada. Old kingdom of Abhisara was basically situated in the Poonch, Rajauri and Nowshera districts of Jammu and Kashmir. ⁽⁴⁾
