	Huvishka - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Huvishka was Kushan emperor from the death of Kanishka (assumed on the best evidence available to be in 140 AD) until the succession of Vasudeva I about forty years later.
		The reign of Huvishka corresponds to the first known epigraphic evidence of the Buddha Amitabha, on the bottom part of a 2nd century statue which has been found in Govindo-Nagar, and now at the Mathura Museum.
		Compared to his predecessor Kanishka, Huvishka seems to relies less on Iranian deities (which are much less numerous in his coinage), and more on India ones, such as war divinities of Shivaism.

		MacDowall proposed that Huvishka exploited this by reducing the weight of his copper coinage, but retaining the guarantee against the gold coinage.
		The broad outlines of both Huvishka's devaluation and the effects it had are soundly based.
		Also, the details of the devaluation are not clear, exactly when in Huvishka's reign it happened, how smooth or dramatic the break was, whether there were any regional variations, and the number of stages involved, are all questions that need answers.

	Kusana Coins and History: A Collection of Essays by P L Gupta
		The line of thought is shown in earlier papers, in particular 'Kanishka, son of Huvishka' and 'Kusana Coins from Mathura Region'.
		The coin still requires some explanation, but readers tempted to posit that Kanishka II might be the son of Huvishka, and brother of Vasudeva, should bear in mind that the coin is remarkably un-Kushan in its general appearance, and that the characters read as 'putra' are quite indecipherable on the plate provided by Gupta.
		In addition to the divisions of Huvishka and Vasudeva, there seems no reason why a Kanishka I and Kanishka II should not be separated on the basis of the change from Greek to Bactrian legends on the coins.

		The coins of the Kushanas dated to the time of Kanishka and that of his immediate successor, Huvishka, depict deities ranging from Zeus to Mithra to Siva, which are gods from the Graeco-Roman, Iranian, and Indian religious traditions respectively.
		Considering the lack of clarity concerning the succession of the rulers of this time period, the available evidence at hand still points to and suggests that Huvishka smoothly succeeded the Kushana throne after Kanishka's death, and that both Vasishka and Kanishka II can be identified with Kushana rulers after the reign of Vasudeva, ie c..
