Javukha (Brahmi: 𑀚𑀯𑀼𑀔 Ja-vu-kha, Bactrian: Zabocho, or Zabokho)[3] was the third known king of the Alchon Huns, in the 5th century CE.[3] He is described as such in the Talagan copper scroll inscription, where he is also said to be Maharaja ("Great King"), and the "son of Sadavikha".[1] In the scroll he also appears to be rather contemporary with Toramana.[1]
