The Buddhists authors have claimed king Kanishkaas faithful to Buddhism. They claimed that like his great forerunner Ashoka, Kanishka in his later days being regretful of his past deeds, had embraced Buddhism for peace and consolation. Asvaghosha virtually converted Kanishka into a Buddhist. Buddhism had a word of solace and peace for all the seekers of peace and tranquility. When Kanishka came along with his forces to Patliputra, he is said to have met the great Buddhist saint and scholar, Asvaghosha.

Kanishka was so much charmed by his personality, personal character, knowledge and practicability of his teachings that he accepted his religion and declared himself to be an Upasak like his great predecessor, Ashoka
