Rule

In response to the migration of the

Rouran) from Zhetysu to the Pamir region, Khingila united the Uars and the Xionites in 460AD, establishing the Hepthalite dynasty
.

According to the Syrian compilation of Church Historian

Ugor and Onogur, who then asked for an alliance and land from Byzantium.[citation needed
]

In his coin in the Brahmi script, Khingila uses the legend "God-King Khingila" (, Deva Shahi Khingila).[3]

A "Seal of Khingila" is known, with legend in the Bactrian language, but it is uncertain if it belonged to Khingila, or another ruler of the same name.[4]

Khingila is also known from a Brahmi inscription, the Talagan copper scroll.
