In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the reign of Kanishka I, the most famous emperor of the Kushan dynasty, who ruled a vast empire stretching from Central Asia to the Ganges plain in the 2nd century CE. They discuss how Kanishka's coins reveal a remarkable religious pluralism, featuring Zoroastrian, Greek, Hindu, and Buddhist deities. The conversation delves into the Fourth Buddhist Council at Kundalavana in Kashmir, where the Sarvastivada canon was compiled and inscribed on copper plates. Lucas explains the Hellenistic influence on Gandharan art, the development of Mahayana Buddhism, and the role of Kushan patronage in spreading Buddhism along the Silk Road to China. They also touch on Kanishka's capital at Purushapura (modern Peshawar) and the great stupa that housed relics of the Buddha, described by Chinese pilgrims. Finally, they consider the controversy around Kanishka's dates and the end of the Kushan Empire under the Sassanians.
