Nalanda was a renowned Buddhist monastic university in ancient Magadha (modern-day Bihar), India. It is considered by historians to be the worlds very first residential university, and among the greatest centers of learning in the ancient world, Nalanda played a vital role in promoting the patronage of arts and academics during the 5th and 6th century CE, a period that has since been described as the Golden Age of India by scholars.
Traditional Tibetan sources mention the existence of a great library at Nalanda named Dharmaganja (Piety Mart) which comprised three large multi-storeyed buildings, the Ratnasagara (Ocean of Jewels), the Ratnodadhi (Sea of Jewels), and the Ratnaranjaka (Jewel-adorned).
