Zhun

Chief deity of Zunbils and Hephthalite god of the sun

Zhun, also known as Zhuna, Zhūn or Zūn, is a Solar deity, the chief god of Zunbils and the Hephthalite god of the sun. He served as a dispenser of evil and a bringer of justice and oaths. He was a divine judge and a great warrior of the people who held truthfulness in the highest honor. He may have also been the creator and lord of the universe, though this particular belief is unfounded. He was also a lord of mountains in a mountainous place and a lord of the river Oxus, which may have held the primeval waters. On coins, he is represented with flames radiating from his head. Statues of him were adorned with gold and used rubies for eyes. Huen Tsang calls him "Sungir".
