An inscription reading “in the year 318” is believed to date a statue at the site of Loriyan Tangai to the reign of this ruler. Joe Cribb has used invocations of deities like Nana and Mihr in one of this ruler’s inscriptions to challenge the traditional account of his religious beliefs. A traveler described how this ruler was predicted by a boy building a mud tower during the life of the Buddha. Though no longer favored, this ruler’s accession was once thought to have marked the start of the Saka era. The Rabatak Inscription details this ruler’s descent from (*) Kujula Kadphises. This non-Sri Lankan ruler is traditionally credited with convening the Fourth Buddhist Council. Fǎxiǎn reported that he saw a 400-ft stupa covered in gold and jewels named for this ruler outside modern Peshawar.
