v t e

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]
