Ki-pu-ṇa-dha), alsoKipanadha, was probably the last ruler of theKushan Empire around 335-350 CE.[2] He is known for his gold coinage.[3] He succeededShaka I. Kipunada was probably only a local ruler in the area stretching fromWaisa toTaxila, in northwesternPunjab, and he may have been a subject ofGupta EmperorSamudragupta.[4]
The coins of Kipunada in Central and Western Punjab were followed by peculiar coins minted locally in Punjab, with the name "Samudra" on them (Gupta script:![]()

), presumably connected to theGupta Empire rulerSamudragupta.[5][6] Soon after this, coinage was issued in Punjab byKidarite Hun rulers known asKirada,Peroz and then the famousKidara, who occupied the territory formerly held by the Kushans.[5][6][7]
