Post-Hunnic Kashmir in the 11th century was governed by a succession of rulers whose authority derived partly from absorbing the administrative and iconographic conventions left behind by the Kidarites and Hephthalites after their collapse in the region. Anirjitavarman is among the lesser-documented rulers of this sequence, and bronze staters attributable to him are rarely encountered in Western collections, having circulated almost exclusively within the Kashmir Valley and adjacent mountain trade routes.
The Zeno reference remains one of the few catalogued examples publicly documented.
