Nalanda Quotes

“At Nalanda, Xuanzang says, ‘There were ten thousand students who studied not only the Buddhist literature in all its branches, but other works such as the Vedas (including Atharva Veda), Logic, Grammar, Medicine, Sankhya philosophy etc., and discourses were given from hundred pulpits every day. Piety of generations of kings not only adorned the place with magnificent buildings, both residential and lecture halls, but supplied all the material necessities of this vast concourse of the teachers and the taught.’45 Many of these kings were Hindus.”
