Samapaka, after being driven out from the Greek settlement of Kapilavastu on the bank of the river Saraswati, established the new city of Baku whose dwellers later were recognised as Baktrians. The Yueh-chi tribe derives its name from the river Acira-vati as dwellers on its bank which is a lower stream of the river Indus and Koa; this river was also known as Ajira-vati identifying the Aja or Ahi clan of Ajodhya in Kosala.
Pali literature speaks of one King called Accima who ruled in Kusa-vati, and also of one Naga, or the Serpent Princess, Acci-mukhi. The latter is identified with House of Dasa-ratha(or Dhata-rattha of Pali) in Ajodhya.
Baku as a dominion of the Greeks, or the Baktrians who were identified with the Greeks, both the names derive their long historical journey with the Naga, or the Serpent Clans to which King Dasa-ratha of Ajodhya belongs..
Attica’s first inhabitant was an earthborn serpent man called Cecrops. The daughters of Cecrops were the nurses of Erichthonius, another serpent-man who was in a sense the son of Athena. For, he was born without a father. Name of Erich-thonius is identical to the name of Takshaka of Indian puranas who was a Naga King like Mani and Mnasseh. Primordial King Manadhata was also born without a father.
Cadmus and Harmonia left Thebes and led Eel-men’s tribe to victory against the Illyrians, of whom they became the king and queen. Here they were identified with the snake gods of an Illyrian tribe. In fact, as deified ancestors, they received offerings as snakes.
Identification of the land of the Nagas is like identification of the ancient world and the ‘first-land’ of human civilization.
