Kanishka was one of the greatest rulers of ancient India. He was a great warrior, and patron of artists and scholars. Like Vikramaditya, his court was graced by great scholars. Different genres of literature developed a lot in his period. There were great scholars like Ashwaghosha who wrote Buddhacharita in Sanskrit.

During this period, along with Sanskrit, many important texts were written in Pali and Prakrit languages too. Propounder of relativity and zeroism, Nagarjuna was one of the great poets during his reign. Nagurjuna was a great philosopher and scientist also.
