Parasika Kingdom

Parasika was an ancient Yavana kingdom inhabited by the Parasikas tribe and mentioned in the Indian epic the Mahabharata.[1][2]

A king named Parasarya is mentioned at two locations in Mahabharata, at 2:4 and at 2:7. It is not clear if he belonged to the Parasikas.[citation needed]
