NCERT says, Dharmapala founded the famous Vikramashila.
Nālandā (Hindi/Sanskrit/Pali: नालंदा) is the name of an ancient center of higher learning inBihar, India. The site of Nalanda is located in the Indian state of Bihar, about 55 miles south east of Patna, and was a Buddhist center of learning from 427 to 1197 CE. It has been called “one of the first great universities in recorded history. Some buildings were constructed by the Mauryan emperor Ashoka the Great (i.e. Raja Asoka: 273–232 BCE) which is an indication of an early establishment of the Buddhist learning center Nalanda. TheGupta Empire also patronized some monasteries. According to historians, Nalanda flourished between the reign of the Gupta king Śakrāditya (also known as Kumāragupta, reigned 415-55) and 1197 CE, supported by patronage from Buddhist emperors like Harsha as well as later emperors from the Pala Empire. The complex was built with red bricks and its ruins occupy an area of 14 hectares. At its peak, the university attracted scholars and students from as far away as China, Greece, and Persia.
The Last Option of Jain Philosophy will be the Universal Soul-> As it is mentioned that the soul is the creator of this world + Bhakti Movement was a devtional awakening rather than spritual awakening
The Bhakti movement was a socio-religious movement that opposed religious bigotry and social rigidities. It emphasised good character and pure thinking. At a time when society had become stagnant, the Bhakti saints infused new life and strength. Spirituality, it typically involves a search for meaning in life. Bhakti movement brought the spirituality through devotion.
Example: the love for Krishna was also expressed through the songs of Mirabai (l 503-73). Widowed at an early age, she believed in a spiritual marriage with her Lord. Her poems have a quality of their own and are popular even today. : NIOS
Nanachi Tang, don’t confuse us, Pls. Prelims is very near. Pls check your old NCERT Page number 109. It says “Through the Jains did not deny the existence of God, they simply ignored him. The world for Jains is not created, maintained or destroyed by a God but functions through a universal or eternal law. The Universe is eternal.

Hey guys I got wrong in that Fa Hien answer. Reason – I knew he came during the Guptas – but my point is it is written in the question – “he was the first chinese pilgrim to India”
Now, he may be the first pilgrim whose documents survived, but there could have been many pilgrims before him right?
No this history has concrete evidence that he was the first pilgrim, until further new concrete evidence comes up that there was a different scholar even earlier than him. Go by evidence.

Is there a flaw in this line of thinking?
We are studying recorded History, not assumptive or presumptive. Go by the books.
but this history then presumes that he was first pilgrim
No this history has concrete evidence that he was the first pilgrim, until further new concrete evidence comes up that there was a different scholar even earlier than him. Go by evidence.
