Suvarnapushpa
Suvarṇapuṣpa was a King of the Tarim Basin city-state of Kucha from 600 to 625. He was known in Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit as Kucīśvara Suvarṇapuṣpa "Suvarṇapuṣpa, lord of Kucha". He was known in Chinese as Bái Sūfábójué as he sent an embassy to the court of the Tang dynasty in 618 CE acknowledging vassalship.
Epigraphy
Suvarṇapuṣpa is illustrated with his Queen in Cave 69 of the Kizil Caves, with an inscription in Brahmi script on his halo:Suvarṇapuṣpa is known to have ruled between 600 and 625, and his three sons died before 647 CE according to Chinese sources.
Visit of Xuanzang
When he visited Kucha in 630 CE, the Chinese monk Xuanzang received the favours of Suvarna-deva, the son and successor of Suvarna-puspa, and king of Kucha.Xuanzang described in many details the characteristics of Kucha, and probably visited Kizil:
1) "The style of writing is Indian, with some differences"
2) "They clothe themselves with ornamental garments of silk and embroidery. They cut their hair and wear a flowing covering "
3) "The king is of Kuchean race"
4) "There are about one hundred convents in this country, with five thousand and more disciples. These belong to the Little Vehicle of the school of the Sarvāstivādas. Their doctrine and their rules of discipline are like those of India, and those who read them use the same."
5) "About 40 li to the north of this desert city there are two convents close together on the slope of a mountain".
These events were soon before the Tang campaign against Kucha in 648 CE.
Suvarna-deva is known from an inscription in which he is called in Tocharian "Swarnatepe":
Haripuspa was the son and successor of Savarnadeva.
