Inscriptions Asparvama was a son of Apraca king Indravarman , as known from an inscription discovered in Taxila,On the Cusp of an Era: Art in the Pre-Kuṣāṇa World, Doris Srinivasan, BRILL, 2007, p.269-270 who himself is known to be the son of Vispavarma according to Indravarman 's Silver Reliquary. Indravarman 's Silver Reliquary, which is known for sure to be before the Bajaur casket, hence before 5-6 CE, and is therefore usually dated to the end of the 1st century BCE, describes Aspavarma's grandfather Vispavarma as a general, and not yet a king at that time. This tends to confirm that his grandson, Aspavarma, probably ruled quite some time later, in the middle of the 1st century CE. Aspavarman is also referenced in Gāndhārī texts, written in Kharoṣṭhī script, dating from the period.The British Library Kharosthi Fragments, The British Library/University of Washington Early Buddhist Manuscripts Project.
