Brief History on Aryabhatta
Aryabhata mentions in the
Aryabhatiya
that
it was composed 3,600 years into the KaliYuga, when he was 23 years old. Thiscorresponds to 499 CE, and implies that hewas born in 476 CE.Aryabhata provides no information about his place of birth. The only information comesfrom Bhskara I, who describes Aryabhataas
makya
, "one belonging tothe
amaka
country." While
amaka
wasoriginally situated in the northwest of India,it is widely attested that, during the Buddha's time, a branch of the Amaka people settled in the region between the Narmada and Godavari rivers, in theSouth Gujarat±North Maharashtra region of central India. Aryabhata is believed to have been born there. However, early Buddhist texts describeAshmaka as being further south, in
dakshinapath
or the Deccan, while other texts describe the Ashmakas as having fought Alexander, which would putthem further north.

It is fairly certain that, at some point, he went to Kusumapura for advancedstudies and that he lived there for some time. Both Hindu and Buddhisttradition, as well as Bhskara I (CE 629), identify Kusumapuraas P
aliputra, modern Patna. A verse mentions that Aryabhata was thehead of an institution (
kulapa
) at Kusumapura, and, because the universityof Nalanda was in Pataliputra at the time and had an astronomicalobservatory, it is speculated that Aryabhata might have been the head of the Nalanda university as well. Aryabhata is also reputed to have set up anobservatory at the Sun temple in Taregana, Bihar.
