If the buddha is said to have visited the university "several times"..it should have existed around 600 B.C not from the 5th to 12 th century AD. Nevertheless, Nalanda & takshashila stand as proud symbols of India's great history, and it would do us proud to herald in a new era of students some 2500 yrs since it began.

Buddha visited Nalanda several times, not Nalanda University, which was established much later.
