The University of Nalanda c15.45

c15.45

If the discussion is suggestive of the power of Hiuen Tsiang as a debator, it also suggests the capacity and greatness of the University which could convert a traveller into such a learned debator, who could talk on all the then known philosophies with so much accuracy. No wonder, then, if Hiuen Tsiang speaks about the University in such highly glowing terms which would make any institution proud.¹ And we think he was amply rewarded for the arduous and weary journey that he undertook for learning the Yogaśāstra and the like from the pandits of Nālandā.
