This book deals extensively with various facets of NÄlandÄ MahÄvihÄra and its contribution to the vast expanse of knowledge and arts of Asia. Some of the important facets of the book are the origin and transformation of NÄlandÄ from VihÄrato MahÄvihÄra, a brief sketch on NÄgÄrjuna, father of NÄlandÄ scholasticism, formation of an academic culture at NÄlandÄ, emergence of a book cult in NÄlandÄ, worship of TÄrÄ and the cult of NÄgas. Apart from this it also includes an analysis of financial management, water management, monastic structures, as well as a¾¹rogyavihÄra and school of medicine at this centre. Examining the maritime contacts between JÄvÄ-SumÄtrÄ (Suvara¹advÄ«pa) and NÄlandÄ as well as NÄlandÄ's connections with ancient China, this work explores the efflorescence and decline of NÄlandÄ MahÄvihÄra.
