Q. Under whose reign were some Greeks or "Yavans" converted to the Vaishnava Cult?
Answer: Shungas
Notes: The Shungas succeeded the Maurya Empire and their rule witnessed the conversion of some Greeks or "Yavans" to the Vaishnava Cult. This period marked a blending of cultures and religions as the borders expanded, and it led to the propagation and transformation of religious practices that had impact on both Indian and Greek civilizations. Not much is known about the Yavans, but it is indicative of cross-cultural exchanges that occurred.
