Aryaraja
Aryaraja was a king of Kashmir who features in Kalhana's The Chronicle of the Kings of Kashmir.
He was reconsidered the reincarnation or resurrection of a wise man, Samdhimati, who had been killed by the previous king Jayendra. Witches used magic to bring the skeleton of the wise man back to life, and he then ascended the throne as Aryaraja. Comparison of the reincarnation of Samdhimati as Aryaraja have been made with the resurrection accounts in Christianity, with the later being influenced by the former. In Kalhana's account, after a just reign Aryaraja resigned the throne and became a monk.
