History
Bhim Singh Dahiya[3] writes: Inscription found at Varanama in former Baroda state speaks of a minister of Moda family. [4] In the South, coins of Maan kings, a Jat clan considered as Sakas, have been found in Konkan area. Nagarjunikonda inscriptions refer to a Saka, named Moda. (EI, XX, p. 37. ) This and many other pieces of evidence point to the extension of the Sakas in the South and their extensive settlements there.[5]
