Varkhuman, alsoVargoman (Chinese:拂呼縵;pinyin:Fúhūmàn, c. 640-670 CE)[2][3] was anIkhshid (King) ofSogdia, residing in the city ofSamarkand in the 7th century CE. He succeeded King Shishpin.[4] He is known from theAfrasiab murals ofAfrasiyab in Samarkand, where he is seen being visited by embassies from numerous countries, includingChina.[5] There is also an inscription in the murals directly mentioning him.[5] His name is also known from Chinese histories.[5]

One of the murals show a Chinese Embassy carrying silk and a string of silkworm cocoons to the local Sogdian ruler.[5] The scene depicted in the Afrasiyab murals probably occurred soon after 658 CE, when theTang dynasty had conquered the Western Turkic Khaganate.[2]

Varkhuman was a nominal vassal to the Chinese.[4] He is mentioned in the Chinese annals:

During the Yonghui (永徽) era (650-655 CE), emperorGaozong made this territory the Government ofKangju, and gave the title of Governor to the King of the country, Varkhuman (拂呼缦,Fúhūmàn).

— Chinese annals on Varkhuman.[6][7]

Varkhuman's legacy was short-lived, as his palace was destroyed by the Arab generalSa'id ibn Uthman between 675 and 677 CE. At that time, according toNarshakhi there was no king of Samarkand anymore.[4]

Inscription mentioning Varhuman

[edit]

In the murals of Afrasiab, an inscription mentioning Varhuman has been found. It is written in Sogdian:

Afrasiab Sogdian inscription

When King Varkhuman Unash came to him [the ambassador] opened his mouth [and said thus]: "I am Pukarzate, the dapirpat (chancellor) ofChaganian. I arrived here from Turantash, the lord of Chaganian, to Samarkand, to the king, and with respect [to] the king [now] I am [here]. And with regard to me do not have any misgivings: About the gods of Samarkand, as well as about the writing of Samarkand I am keenly aware, and I also have not done any harm to the king. Let you be quite fortunate!" And King Varkhuman Unash took leave [of him]. And [then] the dapirpat (chancellor) ofChach opened his mouth.

— Inscription on an ambassador's robe.[8][9][10][11]
