'''Bhadayasa''', also '''Bhadrayasha''' ([[Kharosthi]]: '''{{lang|pgd|𐨧𐨡𐨿𐨪𐨩𐨭}}''' {{transl|pgd|Bha-dra-ya-śa}}, {{transl|pgd|Bhadrayaśa}}), was a minor [[Indo-Scythian]] ruler in the areas of [[Eastern Punjab]] and [[Mathura, Uttar Pradesh|Mathura]] in [[India]], during the 1st century CE. He is considered one of the [[Northern Satraps]].<ref>[https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=231311 CNG Coins notice]</ref><br />
<br />
He is mainly known through his coins, which are direct imitations of those of the [[Indo-Greek]] king [[Zoilos II]], or the hypothetical [[Zoilos III]].<ref>J. Jakobsson, “[https://www.jstor.org/stable/42678881 A Possible New Indo-Greek King Zoilos III, and an Analysis of Realism on Indo-Greek Royal Portraits]” NC 170 (2010), pp. 37-40; Senior 160.2. [https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=231311]</ref><br />
<br />
Bhadayasa is generally considered a successor of [[Rajuvula]] in the [[Eastern Punjab]]. However, since his coinage is copied from [[Zoilos II]] or [[Zoilos III]] rather than the later [[Strato II]] or [[Strato III]] (whom Rajuvula imitated), Jakobsson places Bhadayasa before the rule of these last kings, around 35 BCE.<ref>J. Jakobsson, “[https://www.jstor.org/stable/42678881 A Possible New Indo-Greek King Zoilos III, and an Analysis of Realism on Indo-Greek Royal Portraits]” NC 170 (2010), pp. 38</ref><br />
<br />
At around the same time, the Indo-Scythian ruler [[Sodasa]], son of [[Rajuvula]], ruled in [[Mathura]].<br />
