Nalanda, a large Buddhist monastery, now in ruins, was one of the most acknowledged Mahaviras
of ancient India, located in ancient Magadha kingdom near the town of Bihar Sharif in modem
Bihar. It remained a learning centre from 7th century B.C. to 1200 A.D. and is categorized as
one of the early universities of India along with Vikramshila and Taxila.
Various theories exist regarding the naming of the place. Hiuen Tsang, the famous Chinese
pilgrim, who studied there for several years, asserted that it was derived from "Na alam d'
meaning charity without intermission or no end in gifts. Education in this university was free and
nothing was charged for boarding and lodging. Admission to it was based on merit. give a suitable title for the passage
