The most startling revelation of the Rabatak inscription is the previously unrecognised Kushan king, Vima I Tak[to] (line 13), whose position among the early Kushan kings is clearly indicated.
Vima I Tak[to] is named as the second of three ancestors of Kanishka I. Their family relationships are also described: great grandfather Kujula Kadphises, grandfather Vima Takto, father Vima Kadphises.
The coins attributable to the early Kushans suggest the sequence of the first four kings: Kujula Kadphises, the anonymous Soter Megas ruler now identifiable as Vima I Takto, Vima II Kadphises and Kanishka I. There are several groups of coins of Kujula Kadphises.

Indeed it is a triumph of numismatics that most researchers believed they were the issues of some unknown ruler who ruled between Kujula Kadphises and Vima Kadphises, although some authors thought they were issued by Kujula and others thought that Vima Kadphises may have been the issuer.
Vima Takha seems to have recovered at least some of Kujula's Indian territory from the Indo-Parthians.
We see in later Kushan coins the image of the king sacrificing at a fire altar, and perhaps this is a precursor to that type.

 Arguments on the date of the ascension of the Great Kushan King Kanishka.
The problem is that if you cant tag the date of his ascension to a surviving era then Kanishka could have founded his era on any year at all and it may well prove impossible to ever pin it down exactly.
And since the conquest of northern India is the responsibility of Vima Takto and Vima Kadphises we have at least two kings to fit between 45 AD and Kanishkas enthronement (plus quite possibly some part of Kajula Kadphises reign).
Some authors assume that Kajula could not have been a contemporary of Gondaphares, due to the power of the two kings, but again we simply do not know enough about the relationship or the power of each to be sure.

 Notes on Kushan Military forces
Under the leadership of Wima Takto this nation overwhelms northern India and establishes itself as a powerful empire in the last half of the first century BC.
The coins of Kajula, Vima Takto, Vima Kadphises and Kanishka show the king usually unarmored, or with lighter armor than the later Kushan kings.
Elephants begin to appear on the coins from Vima Kadphises onward so it is likely that these either became the mounts of the rulers or increase their status in Kushan military strategy.
