The University of Nalanda c7.62

c7.62

It need not be imagined that all students were as versatile as Nārada. There can be no greater misconception than that. The inference that we draw from these curricula is that ancient Hindus studied many other subjects besides the four Vēdas, the Brāhmaṇas and the Upaniṣads. It is difficult to say, however, whether these different subjects were taught at one place as at Nālandā¹, or at different places noted for their specialisation in particular branches of knowledge.
