Comprehension:
Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
Founded in 427 CE, Nalanda is considered the world's first residential university, a sort of
medieval Ivy League institution home to nine million books that attracted 10,000 students
from across Eastern and Central Asia. They gathered here to learn medicine, logic,
mathematics and – above all – Buddhist principles from some of the era's most revered
scholars. As the Dalai Lama once stated: "The source of all the [Buddhist] knowledge we
have, has come from Nalanda."
In the more-than seven centuries that Nalanda flourished, there was nothing else like it in the
world. The monastic university predates the University of Oxford and Europe's oldest
university, Bologna, by more than 500 years. What's more, Nalanda's enlightened approach to
philosophy and religion would help shape the culture of Asia long after the university ceased
to exist.
Interestingly, the monarchs of the Gupta Empire that founded the Buddhist monastic
university were devout Hindus, but sympathetic and accepting towards Buddhism and the
growing Buddhist intellectual fervour and philosophical writings of the time. The liberal
cultural and religious traditions that evolved under their reign would form the core of
Nalanda's multidisciplinary academic curriculum, which blended intellectual Buddhism with a
higher knowledge in different fields. The ancient Indian medical system of Ayurveda, which is
rooted in nature-based healing methods, was widely taught at Nalanda and then migrated to
other parts of India via alumni. Other Buddhist institutions drew inspiration from the campus'
design of open courtyards enclosed by prayer halls and lecture rooms. And the stucco
produced here influenced ecclesiastical art in Thailand, and metal art migrated from here to
Tibet and the Malayan peninsula. But perhaps Nalanda's most profound and lingering legacy
is its achievements in mathematics and astronomy.
Aryabhata, considered the father of Indian mathematics, is speculated to have headed the
university in the 6th century CE. "We believe that Aryabhata was the first to assign zero as a
digit, a revolutionary concept, which simplified mathematical computations and helped evolve
more complex avenues such as algebra and calculus," said Anuradha Mitra, a Kolkata-based
professor of mathematics. "Without zero, we wouldn't have computers," she added. "He also
did pioneering works in extracting square and cubic roots, and applications of trigonometrical
functions to spherical geometry. He was also the first to attribute radiance of the moon to
reflected sunlight." This work would profoundly influence the development of mathematics
and astronomy in southern India and across the Arabian Peninsula.

other parts of India via alumni. Other Buddhist institutions drew inspiration from the campus'
design of open courtyards enclosed by prayer halls and lecture rooms. And the stucco
produced here influenced ecclesiastical art in Thailand, and metal art migrated from here to
Tibet and the Malayan peninsula. But perhaps Nalanda's most profound and lingering legacy
is its achievements in mathematics and astronomy.
Aryabhata, considered the father of Indian mathematics, is speculated to have headed the
university in the 6th century CE. "We believe that Aryabhata was the first to assign zero as a
digit, a revolutionary concept, which simplified mathematical computations and helped evolve
more complex avenues such as algebra and calculus," said Anuradha Mitra, a Kolkata-based
professor of mathematics. "Without zero, we wouldn't have computers," she added. "He also
did pioneering works in extracting square and cubic roots, and applications of trigonometrical
functions to spherical geometry. He was also the first to attribute radiance of the moon to
reflected sunlight." This work would profoundly influence the development of mathematics
and astronomy in southern India and across the Arabian Peninsula.
