His successors Azilises and Azes-II ruled the kingdom of Azes-I, after whom the sovereignty of Indian borderland passed into the hands of Pahlava ruler Gondophares, a Parthian.

 History of Iran: India's Parthian Colony
Revealing the ancient Pallava Dynasty of Dravidia to be of the Iranic race, and as constituting a branch of the Pahlavas, Parthavas or Parthians of Persia.
Initially, the similarity of the words "Pallava" and "Pahlava" had led 19th-century researchers to surmise an Iranic origin for the Pallavas.
Moreover, the Pahlava alphabet is the ancestor of the Sasanian Persian alphabet: "The Pahlava alphabet developed from the Aramaic alphabet and occurs in at least three local varieties: northwestern, called Pahlavik or Arsacid; southwestern, called Parsik or Sasanian, and eastern" (Enc.Brit.vol.9, p.62).

  Migration of Kambojas - KambojSociety.com
The invading hordes of the Sakas, Yavanas, Kambojas, Pahlavas, Abhiras etc from the north-west had entered Punjab, United Province, Sindhu, Rajasthan and Gujarat in large numbers, wrested political control of northern India from the Indo-Aryans and had established their respective kingdoms/principalities in the land of the Indo-Aryans.
The close association of the Sakas and Pahlavas etc in this period is demonstrable from various sources and it is highly probable that the tribes from eastern Iran invading or entering India contained diverse elements including Iranians (Dr J. Kamboj, Dr J. Banerjea).
Thus, some adventurous families from both the Pahlavas and the Kambojas who are attested to have settled in south-west India in post-Christian era (See: Brhat Samhita: 14/17-19; Markendeya Purana 58.30-32) may indeed have founded the Pallava dynasty of Kanchi and the Kambuja dynasty of Cambodia respectively.

  Pallava - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
There are some claims based on historical, anthropological, and linguistic evidence indicating that the Pallavas were related to the Pahlavas of Iran.
It is possible that a wave of Pahlava/Kambhoja tribes of Indo-Iranian descent migrated Southward and first settled in Krishna valley.
The alien Pahlavas/Kambojas had remained under the Satavahana Hindu rulers for quite some time and are believed to have been influenced by the mannerism, customs and royal usages of the latter who they appear to have borrowed many things from.

Thus, it appears that the Pallavas of Kanchi were indeed a branch of the Iranian Pahlavas, who with passage of time, had embraced Hinduism and become followers of Brahmanical culture.

I have played several campaigns as the pahlava and would see that the best course of action to take is to attack the seleucids in central asia and northern iran as soon as possible.
In the early stages Pahlava were essentially a tribe of horsemen and the whole people would fight when foreign folks tried to invade, but instead of that you usually have some small garrisons and -50 000 debt until 200 bc.
A lot of this is tied to the general overpoweredness of naval trade, which for example Pahlava has almost no access to, but maybe spice roads could be improved and enhanced.

According to numerous Puranas, the military corporations of the Shakas, Yavanas, Kambojas, Pahlavas and Paradas, known as "five hordes" (pānca-ganah), had militarily supported the Haihaya and Talajunga Kshatriyas in depriving Ikshvaku king Bahu (the 7th king in descent from Harishchandra), of his Ayodhya kingdom.

The Pahlavas, like Kambojas/Sakas are documented to be Kshatrya pungavas [foremost among the Kshatryas] in Harivamas and are stated to be originally a Kshatryas in other Puranic literaure.
Pahlavas were, to all probability, an aliens, the intruders from North-west, who along with Sakas, Kambojas, had entered Indian mainland during 2nd/1st c BC and had spread into south-west and southern India with passage of time.
Thus, it is natural that the PAHLAVAS of north-west who were the very neighbors and an allied tribe of the Kambojas, must have also been practicing wrestling.

The Manusmriti, written about 200 CE, groups the Shakas with the Yavanas, Kambojas, Paradas, Pahlavas, Kiratas and the Daradas etc..., and addresses them all as degraded warriors, or Kshatriyas (X/43-44).
The Vartika of the Katyayana informs us that the kings of the Shakas and the Yavanas, like those of the Kambojas, may also be addressed by their respective tribal names.
This reference apparently alludes to the precarious political scenario following the collapse of Mauryan and Sunga dynasties in northern India and its occupation by foreign hordes of the Shakas, Yavanas, Kambojas and Pahlavas.
