Nālandā's great fame attracted the attention of the king of such distant countries as Java and Sumatra. “With the mind attracted by the manifold excellences of Nālandā, he (Mahārāja Bālaputradeva, the King of Suvarṇadvīpa) built there (at Nālandā) a monastery which was the abode of the assembly of monks of various good qualities and was white with the series of stuccoed and lofty dwellings.”²
