Kshatrapa - Kshatrapa (English spelling)

Japanese: クシャトラパ - くしゃとらぱ(英語表記)Katrapa
Kshatrapa - Kshatrapa (English spelling)

Like the ancient Persian Kshatrapavan and Greek Satrapes, it means a governor or governor. However, among the Saka people who ruled India and Pakistan, it meant a local ruler, almost equivalent to a king. Among the Kshatrapas known from the excavated inscriptions are Kusuruka, Patika, and Indravarman, and in particular, Ranjbra and Shodasha of Mathura in India were great Kshatrapas who issued coins.

Japanese:

古代ペルシア語のクシャトラパバン、ギリシア語のサトラペースと同じく、大守、総督の意。しかし、インド、パキスタンを支配したサカ人においては地方の支配者のことで、ほぼ王に等しい。出土した碑文には、クスルカ、パティカ、インドラバルマンなどのクシャトラパが知られるが、とくにインドのマトゥラのランジュブラ、ショーダーシャなどは大クシャトラパとして貨幣なども発行している。
