 According to Patanjali's Mahabhasya, scholars believe that there was really a Yavana invasion during Pusyamitra's rule. Yavanas besieged Saket (Ayodhya), Madhyamika (near Chittor). From Patanjali's illustrations it does not absolutely follow that the Yavana invasion of Saket and Madhyamika occurred during Pusyamitra's reign. In this connection it may be noted that the Yuga Purana section of the Gargi Samhita does speak of a Yavana invasion of North-India after the reign of a Maurya king. Maurya Empire probably came to an end in 187 B.C. and if it is attributed to Yavana invasion, its leader naturally had been Demetrius.
