Kushan emperor From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mahi (Brahmi script: 
Ma-hi) was a Kushan ruler, whose reign is dated to circa 300–305 CE.[2] He probably succeeded Vasudeva II, and his successor was Shaka.[2] Mahi was among the last Kushan Emperors, before they were overrun by the Kidarites.[3]

Mahi, like the last few Kushan rulers, ruled in Gandhara in the area of Taxila, probably under the suzerainty of Gupta Empire rulers, particularly Samudragupta.[3] Their coinage reflected the great Kushan tradition, but the value had been much reduced.[3]
