When the first Chinese monk Fa-Hien visited Nalanda in 410 AD, which was called Na-lo, prevailed as an ordinary Buddhist monastery (Beal 1993, 111), which within the next three centuries grew up to be the greatest education center of Mahayana Buddhism.
Hiuen Tsang was the Chinese traveler who visited India in Ancient Times between AD 627-643. He visited India during the reign of Harshavardhana who came to admire him for his deep devotion towards Buddhism. He returned with over six hundred Mahayana and Hinayana texts, seven statues of the Buddha and more than a hundred sarira relics.
