Suvarṇapuṣpa (Sanskrit: 𑀲𑀼𑀯𑀭𑁆𑀡𑀧𑀼𑀱𑁆𑀧, lit. 'Gold Flower', Swarnabūspe in Tocharian, or directly translated as Ysāṣṣa Pyāpyo "Golden Flower")[1] was a King of the Tarim Basin city-state of Kucha from 600 to 625. He was known in Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit (BHS) as Kucīśvara Suvarṇapuṣpa "Suvarṇapuṣpa, lord of Kucha".[2] He was known in Chinese as Bái Sūfábójué (白蘇伐勃駃, the prefix "白" means "white", possibly pointing to the fair complexion of the Kucheans)[3][4] as he sent an embassy to the court of the Tang dynasty in 618 CE acknowledging vassalship.[5][6][7]
