Sakas were a Mlechcha tribe grouped along with the Yavanas , Tusharas and Barbaras . They were later known as Sythians . They were Soma drinkers, Soma being an intoxicating liquour famous in the land of Devas (gods).There were a group of Sakas called Apa Sakas meaning water dwelling Sakas, probably living around some lake in central asian steppes. The same name ''Apa'' comes in the name ' Apsaras ' denoting fairy like women of exceeding beauty dwelling around water filled lakes (Apa = water, Saras = lake) Thus the Sakas are mysteriously connected with the Devas and Apsaras .
