Malayketu was the king of a kingdom in Punjab located between the Jhelum and the Chenab (Greek: the Hydaspes and the Acesines) and dominions extending to Hyphasis[1]. Its capital may have been near the current city of Lahore [2]. He was the son of Porus, the king that confronted Alexander the Great in the battle of the Hydaspes.
