Ancient Indian Education (Brahmanical and Buddhist) c32.s4.2

c32.s4.2

It appears that this University had existed long before the Pāla kings came into power in Magadha. These kings expanded the University by endowing it with a good Library of Brahmanical and Buddhist works. We have also seen how this Monastery was taken as the model on which the first Tibetan Buddhist Monastery was built in A.D. 749 under King Khri-sron-deu-tsan on the advice of his guru, Śāntarakshita.
