Tardush Shad (Chinese: 達頭设; pinyin: Dátóu Shè) — was a Yabghu of Tokharistan.
[2] According to Cefu Yuangui, these principalities were Zabulistan, Kapisa-Gandhara, Khuttal, Chaghaniyan, Shignan, Shuman, Badhgis, Wakhan, Guzgan, Bamiyan, Kobadiyan and Badakhshan, when Pantu Nili - a later yabgu of Tokharistan submitted to Tang.
[3] He installed his son Tardu in Kunduz to rule over with title of Tokharistan Yabgu (Chinese: 吐火羅葉護; pinyin: Tǔhuǒluó Yèhù).
When Xuanzang visited Kunduz, he also brought a letter from his brother-in-law and ruler of Gaochang Qu Wentai (麴文泰) to Tardu.
It was Tardu to advise him to make a trip westward to Balkh (modern Afghanistan), to see the Buddhist sites and relics.
