Sushen was an ancient ethnic group or people who dwelt in the northeastern part of China (in the area of modern Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces) and what is in modern times the Russian Maritime Province and some other Siberian provinces. They were active during the Zhou Dynasty period. Archeological relics in the area are attributed to the Xituanshan Culture, indicating that the people were, according to Ulrich Theobald, Tungusic.
According to Guoyu and Shanhaijing published in the Zhanguo period (476–221 BCE), Sushen was the name of the tribe who lived in Shandong and border of Liaoxi area.
The name of Sushen appeared as early as the 6th century BC in Chinese documents. They are almost unknown with the exception of the fact that they lived to the north of China and used flint headed wooden arrows, farmed, hunted, and fished, and lived in caves and trees. Ancient Chinese believed that the Sushen paid arrows as tribute to an ideal Chinese ruler. In other words, an arrival of Sushen delegates was, for the Chinese, an auspicious sign of the Chinese ruler's virtue.
The name Suṣhēn or Suṣhēna or Suṣhēnah or Sushane is one of the names of Lord Vishnu cited in the epic Hindu poem Vishnu sahasranāma ("the thousand names of Vishnu"), an articulated versification of 1,008 names for Vishnu. Other people described in Hindu sacred texts also have the name Sushena. Many Hindu or Buddhist people, especially in India, China, Cambodia, The Maldives, Indonesia and Mongolia are named Suṣhēn or Suṣhēna or Suṣhєn or Suṣhєna.
Vaishnavas consider that Vishnu is the supreme god in the trimurti or Hindu triad. Vishnu sahasranama is one of the most sacred and commonly chanted stotras in Hinduism, and the version found in the Mahābhārata is the most popular. It lists names that each eulogise one of Vishnu's great attributes. Stanza 58 of the Vishnu sahasranama contains the name suṣhēnah:
mahāvarāho govindạh suṣhēnah kanakāngade
guhyo gabhēro gahanọ guptaśchakragadādharah
Authorities have different views of the meaning of the word suṣhēnah in this context.
