		It seems likely that it was these Sakas Haumavarka and other allied tribes such as the Lohas, Parama Kambojas, Rishikas, etc that lived in, and north of the Pamir mountains as far as Kashgar, Fargana and Issyk-kul Lake, that entered into conflict with the Ta Yue-chi or Great Yue-chi and migrated into northern India.
		Writing on the Rishikas, Dr V. Aggarwala observes: “The name Rishika occurs in Mahabharata as a part of 'Shakadvipa'.
		Arjuna had conquered Rishikas across the Vakshu (Oxus) which flowed through the Shaka country.” As the Parama Kambojas, Lohas and the Rishikas were all neighborly tribes and were allied in their fight against Arjuna

		But the Rishikas were a closely affiliated to the Parama-Kambojas as per Mahabharata evidence.
		According to the evidence furnished by Mahabharata, the Transoxian Pamir mountains and regions to the north as far as Fargana were known as the lands of the allied Lohas, Parama Kambojas, Rishikas, etc tribes.
		Arjuna had conquered Rishikas across the Vakshu (Oxus) which flowed through the Shaka country.” As the Parama Kambojas, Lohas and the Rishikas were all neighborly tribes and were allied in their fight against Arjuna, this strongly suggests that the Transoxian Lohas and Parama Kambojas were also located in Shakadvipa or Scythia.

		We went to lots of forts and palaces, but the best was Nargarh, which is on the top of a mountain which is surrounded by the city.

		It is notable that the Indian traditions locate the Lohas, Parama Kambojas and the Rishikas exactly in the same geographical region wherein the Greek writers place the Haumavarga Sacae as well as the Komedes, Homodotes (Asii) etc and the Chinese records place the Sai, Xiuxun etc.

		If the Rishikas were Tukharas, then the observation from Rawilson is in line with the Mahabharata (2.27.25-26) statement which also closely allies the Parama Kambojas (=Asii/Asio) with the Rishikas [6] and locates them both in the Sakadvipa.
