Pushyavarman was the founder of the Varman dynasty of Kamarupa in Assam in the mid-4th century, known from the genealogies in the copper plates of his descendants. His reign was roughly contemporary with the Gupta emperor Samudragupta, whose Allahabad inscription lists Kamarupa among the frontier kingdoms paying tribute. His dynasty ruled until the mid-7th century.
