"Ruling over the Aryans was a king called Salivahana, the grandson of Vikramaditya, who occupied the throne of his father. He defeated the Sakas who were very difficult to subdue, the Cinas, the people from Tittiri, Bahlikas and the people of Kamarupa. He also defeated the people from Roma and the descendants of Khuru, who were deceitful and wicked. He punished them severely and took their wealth. Salivahana thus established the boundaries dividing the separate countries of the Mlecchas and the Aryans. In this way Sindusthan came to be known as the greatest country. That great personality appointed the abode of the Mlecchas beyond the Sindhu River and to the west. One time, that subduer of the Sakas went towards Himatunga (the Himalayas)." (19.19-22)

"In the middle of the Huna country (Hunadesa - the area near Manasa Sarovara or Kailasa mountain in Western Tibet), the powerful king saw an auspicious man who was living on a mountain. The man's complexion was golden and his clothes were white." (19:22)
It is said that After Salivahana defeated the Sakas in some war he established his empire,
from then the Salivahana period of Indian history began i.e SALIVAHANA SAKA, APPROX circa 78 CE.
According to this apparently section of the Bhavisya Purana, at some point after establishing his kingdom, Salivahana traveled to the Himalayas and met Jesus. some Christian scholars opine that Jesus was born in 4 BCE and was crucified somewhere between 27 and 36 CE. And if we believe the idea that Christ somehow survived the crucifixion and met Salivahana in the Himalayas, this would make him around 80 years old at that time. Yet surprisingly, the description of Jesus in the Bhavisya Purana does not mention that he was an old man.
The text continues with Salivahana asking Jesus, "Who are you?" to which Jesus replies:
isa-putram mam viddhi
kumari-garbha sambhavam
"I am the Son of God (isa-putra) and I am born of a virgin (kumari-garbha)."(19:23)idea
This is a common idea amongst Christians that Jesus Took birth from virgin and he claims that he is son of god.
As per the Old Testament in the Book of Isaiah:
"Behold, a virgin has conceived and bears a son and she will call his name Immanuel."
