<h2 id="inscription-mentioning-varhuman">Inscription mentioning Varhuman</h2> <p>In the murals of Afrasiab, an inscription mentioning Varhuman has been found. It is written in Sogdian: </p> <blockquote><p>When King Varkhuman Unash came to him [the ambassador] opened his mouth [and said thus]: "I am Pukarzate, the dapirpat (chancellor) of <a href="/facts/Chaganian/GHUHVgHg">Chaganian</a>. 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) of <a href="/facts/Tashkent/q9pvfmna">Chach</a> opened his mouth.</p>— Inscription on an ambassador's robe.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:13" href="#fn:13"><sup>13</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:14" href="#fn:14"><sup>14</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:15" href="#fn:15"><sup>15</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:16" href="#fn:16"><sup>16</sup></a></blockquote> <h2 id="afrasiab-murals">Afrasiab murals</h2> <p class="note">Main article: <a href="/facts/Afrasiab_murals/EqPHIcgv">Afrasiab murals</a></p> <h2 id="references">References</h2> <ol> <li id="fn:1"><p>Whitfield, Susan (2004).
