Viśa' Saṃbhava (Khotanese language, in traditional Chinese: 尉遲僧烏波; simplified Chinese: 尉迟僧乌波; pinyin: Yùchí Sēngwūbō; Wade–Giles: Yü-ch῾ih Sêng-wu-p῾o; Chinese name: Li Shengtian, traditional Chinese: 李聖天; simplified Chinese: 李圣天; pinyin: Lǐ Shèngtiān; Wade–Giles: Li Shêng-t῾ien; died 962, 966 or 967) was the king of Khotan from 912 to 962, 966 or 967.[1][2] He adopted Tongqing (同慶, lit. 'celebrating together') as his era name.
He married the second daughter of Cao Yijin , the first governor of the Guiyi Circuit; they had a son named Viśa' Śūra, who would become king of Khotan after his father's death.[2] In another act of marital diplomacy, Cao Yijin's grandson, Cao Yanlu , married Saṃbhava's third daughter.
