Abisares (or Abhisara (अभिसार); in Greek Αβισαρης), called Embisarus (Eμβισαρoς) by Diodorus,〔Diodorus, ''Bibliotheca'', (xvii. 90 )〕 was a Kashmiri king of abhira 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Tribes and Castes of Bombay )〕 descent beyond the river Hydaspes, whose territory lay in the mountains, sent embassies to Alexander the Great both before and after the conquest of Porus in 326 BC, although inclined to espouse the side of the latter. 〔Flavius Arrianus Hist., Phil., Alexandri anabasis Book 5, chapter 20, section 5, line 4 ανδρον ἔπεμψε, χρήματά τε κομίζοντα καὶ ἐλέφαντας τεσσαράκοντα δῶρον Ἀλεξάνδρῳ.〕 Alexander not only allowed him to retain his kingdom, but increased it, and on his death in 325 BC appointed his son as his successor.〔Waldemar Heckel: ''Who’s who in the age of Alexander the Great. Prosopography of Alexander’s empire''. Blackwell, Oxford 2006, ISBN 978-1-4051-1210-9 ((excerpt online )).〕 〔Strabo Geogr., Geographica Book 15, chapter 1, section 28, line 11〕 〔Διοδ. ΙΖ, 87〕 .〔Curt, VIII, 43, 13. XLVII, 1. IX, 1, 7, X, 3, 20〕 ==Kingdom== Hazara (country), the Abisares of the Greeks;it forms the north-western district of the Peshawar division. It was conquered by Arjuna (Mahabharata,Sabha-Parva,Ch.27;JASD.(1852)p. 234). But Dr. Stein identifies the kingdom of Abhisara with the tract of the lower and middle hills between the Vitasta (Jhelum) and Chadrabhaga (Chenab) including the state of Rajapuri (Rajauri) in Kasmira.〔Encyclopaedia of ancient Indian geography By Subodh Kapoor-page-3〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Encyclopaedia of Ancient Indian Geography )〕〔Arrian, ''Anabasis Alexandri'', (v. 8 ), (20, 29 ); Curtius Rufus, ''Historiae Alexandri Magni'', (viii. 12-14 ), (ix. 1 ), (x. 1 )〕 The kingdom of Abhisara finds reference in ancient Indian texts also. In epic times and Buddhist times, it had formed integral part of Ancient Kamboja Mahajanapada. Old kingdom of Abhisara was basically situated in the Poonch, Rajauri and Nowshera districts of Jammu and Kashmir.〔Political History of Ancient India: From the Accession of Parikshit to the Extinction of the Gupta Dynasty, 1953, p 248, Hemchandra Raychaudhuri, University of Calcutta〕〔The Mahābhārata, Its Genesis and Growth: A Statistical Study, 1986, p 115, M.
