King Huvishka (1090-1030 BCE).—Huvishka succeeded his father Kanishka. An inscription found in Wardak monastery at Kabul refers to the 51 st regnal year of Maharaja Rajatiraja Huvishka. Taranatha mentions that Kanishka’s son lived for 100 years. Evidently, Huvishka might have reigned for 60 years. Both Kanishka and Huvishka reigned for 100 years. Thus, the period from 1131 BCE to 1030 BCE was the golden era of Kushanas. An inscription of King Ashvaghosha found in Kaushambi refers to King Huvishka. Most probably, Kanishka or Huvishka conquered Pataliputra again after the death of King Nanda. Thus, Huvishka reigned over a vast empire from Bactria to Magadha.
