  The Kushans - Indian History
Vasudeva I was the last great king of the dynasty when Kushana empire was at it's height of splendor and prosperity.
Vasudeva was followed by his son (?) Kanishka II who lost all the territories west of river Indus to Sassanians.

 Some Observations on the Interpretation of the Paninisutra Vasudevarjunabhyam Vum and the Antiquity of the Bhagavatas
From the preceding it is clear that the authors of the Kasika, and Kaiyata, and the latter grammarians regard Vasudeva as a divinity and leave no doubt a sto correctness fo their interpretation, though they are much later in time.
The association of Arjuna with Vasudeva in the sutra iv, iii, 98 may have bearing on this fact, buyt we are not sure.
To explain the significance of the sutra it is not necessary to attribute divinity to Arjuna, as to Vasudeva, though the former is regarded in the Mahabharata as an incarnation of Nara and a constant associate of Narayana.

 Vasudeva I - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
His name, Vasudeva, is that of the father of Krishna, the popular Hindu god, and he was the first Kushan king to have an Indian name.
Vasudeva I (Kushan: BAZOΔHO "Bazodeo", Chinese: 波調 "Bodiao") was the last of the "Great Kushans." Named inscriptions dating from year 64 to 98 of Kanishka's era suggest his reign extended from at least 191 to 225 CE.
Vasudeva may have been the Indian king who returned the relics of the Apostle St. Thomas from India in 232 CE, on which occasion his Syriac Acts (the 3rd century Acts of Thomas) were written.

 Chronology of Ancient India: The Era of the Kushan King Kanishka
We know this because their coins cease to circulate in that region, and the assumption has always been that the region was conquered by the Sasanians, who go on to establish a Kushano-Sasanian dynasty in the region.
His successor, Chandragupta II, actually has an inscription at the city of Mathura (dated 380AD), which we know was still under Kushan control as late as king Vasishka and possibly as late as Vasudeva II.
Unfortunately, how long they ruled, and whether they took Mathura from Vasudeva II or from his successor Shaka is beyond the rather meagre evidence available.

His successors were Vasishka, Kanishka II, Huvishka, Vashushka, and Vasudeva) coins from kaniSka's reign (78–96 AD) do not necessarily mean that Bengal was under their rule, though the Murandooi mentioned by Ptolemy in India Extra-Gangem may have connections with the term shaka-murundu found later in samudragupta's inscription.
Since the time of kumAragupta I (415–455), son of candragupta II vikramAditya (375–415), son of samudragupta (there may have been an extremely short reign of rAmagupta in between) till the middle of 6th cent AD, when the gupta empire fell, puNDravardhana remained a major city in the gupta empire.

 Indian Theism and Process Philosophy
We may say then that Krishna Vasudeva, the founder of the Bhagavata religion who later became identified with the god in whom he believed, taught salvation by devotional faith to the one god Vaseduva.
During this later epic period, under the influence of the very old Vedic conception of deity produced by the process of arrested anthropomorphism, the Bhagavatas were led to simply identify their lord Vasudeva with the cosmic conception of brahman.
In Northern India, where the influence of the Midland was strongest, the Bhagavatas even admitted the truth of brahmanism, and identified the Pantheos with the Adorable, although they never made pantheism a vital part of their religion.

 Brief Guide to Kushan History
However, if that were the case the rule of Vasishka overlaps with that of Kanishka and Huvishka, and it would be necessary to explain the inscription of Kanishka of year 41.
This is possible, either by suggesting joint rule of the Empire with Huvishka, or by suggesting more than one Huvishka and inserting the other kings in the sequence (though only by fudging Vasishkas dates) thus Kanishka, Vasishka, Huvishka, Kanishka II, Huvishka II, Vasudeva.
The reason for interpreting this as a second century is the very natural way in which Vasudevas last date (at 98) would fit with the early inscriptions of the proposed Kanishka II.

The facial features too appear to be very `Indian' and thus relate more closely to Vasudeva I. It appears that this medal was either bestowed on a military commander or a soldier for his bravery or could have been worn as a symbol of higher status in society.
As the gold coins, Bhairava-gadyana were known to have been in circulation in the second half of eleventh century, it is very compelling to propose that the coin shown in figure 1 is a Bhairava-gadyana minted by Jayasimha Jagadekamalla.
These punch-marked gold coins of ~3.5 to 4 gms were reintroduced by Jayasimha II Jagadekamalla (1015-1042 AD), a ruler of Western Chalukya dynasty (Chalukyas of Kalyana) which were used by various kingdoms of south India, including those who acknowledged suzerainty of Chalukyas.

This coin, previously unpublished, is important because it is of the style of Vasudeva I (Göbl 655 and 657) but the legend clearly indicates it was issued by Kanishka II.
This shows that the area where this coin was minted, probably Peshawar, but in any case somewhere in the northwestern parts of the kingdom, was not lost to the Kushano-Sasanians by Vasudeva, as has been long thought, but by Kanishka II.

His coins are of two types, a main Gupta-style series copying features from the gold coins of the Kushan kings from Kanishka II to Vasudeva II and a Kushan-style issue of base-gold coins copying the design of the late Kushan issues of Shaka and Kipunadha.
Example of Indo-Parthian period issues are the Azes II type coins issued by the local king Indravarma (Mitchiner 1975-6: no. 867) and by the son of satrap Kharahostes (Mitchiner 1975-6: no. 873).
Unfortunately Vima I Tak[to] and his son Vima II Kadphises adopt a different era in their inscriptions, so that chronological correlation of their reigns with the Azes Era is difficult (see Appendix B).

The Rabatak inscription suggests that the adoption of the Kanishka Era was a deliberate decision in the first year of the reign of Kanishka I. Its use in inscriptions at Mathura from early in his reign also points to its widespread adoption.
I am also waiting for someone to re-examine the recorded inscriptions in the name of a Kushan king Vasudeva, to see if any of them are also part of this second sequence, because Vasudeva II's reign corresponds closely in the second century to the position of Vasudeva I in the first century.
The Unknown Era's association with the kings Vima I Tak[to] and Vima II Kadphises suggests that it should be recognized as the era of two early Kushan inscriptions found at Mathura.

Iconometric evidence proves that the worship of Rama as an incarnation of Vishnu is at least as old as the time of Brihatsamhita of Varahmihir, (5th century A.D.) who prescribes the details of Rama’s iconometry in chapter 57 verse 30.
The same practice is indicated by an inscription found at Ayodhya which says that the Gahadval king, Chandradeva visited Ayodhya on 23rd Oct. 1093 on a pilgrimage on the occasion of a solar eclipse when he bathed in the Saryu and performed the worship of Vasudeva the protector of the three worlds.
The long tradition of Rama worship as evidenced lay the numerous literary, scriptural and archaeological sources culminate in the 12trh/13th century in the Ayodhya-Mahatmya forming part of the Skandapurana which describes the various holy spots in Ayodhya, and extols the pilgrimaage to the city as the best means to salvation.
