Addition

Add that , he believed that panets and moon were reflected by sunlight and earths rotation causes motion of stars.

"Qualifies as a major physicist"

The lede currently has "For his explicit mention of the relativity of motion, he also qualifies as a major early physicist.", citing Encyclopedia.com [1] which seems to be an aggregated website, and I don't think it is appropriate to cite. It also has no mention of Aryabhata being a physicist, or being "major". I suggest this is removed since it appears to be original research. Horep (talk) 21:10, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Evidence Needed

This Wikipedia page says "Aryabhata's major work were based on previous discoveries by Greeks, Mesapotamians." Yet the source it cites doesn't provide enough information to make this claim. In fact, the source actually says "The conjecture that Aryabhata's value of π is of Greek origin is critically examined and is found to be without foundation." So where did this claim come from, and are there other sources that prove it? Or should that line be removed? LouMichel (talk) 16:36, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like that line was added in this edit, which does not seem to be very well-founded. I've gone ahead and reverted whatever was left of that edit. Shreevatsa (talk) 11:53, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nalanda University

A {{dubious}} tag was set on a sentence concerning Aryabhata as the head of Nalanda University. I verified that the source makes this claim and I removed the tag. The source is

K. V. Sarma (2001). "Āryabhaṭa: His name, time and provenance" (PDF). Indian Journal of History of Science. 36 (4): 105–115. Archived from the original (PDF) on 31 March 2010.

If there is evidence that the source is not reliable we could revisit the topic. Johnjbarton (talk) 15:57, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, my issue is that the claim that Nalanda used to be in Patna is not repeated in any other source. It seems to be a claim solely made in the paper by Sarma. Ixudi (talk) 16:03, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, if I understand your position then, you believe that Sarma could be mistaken on a point of history for Nalanda but otherwise reliable. Unfortunately the lack of a confirming source is not itself evidence that Sarma is incorrect. Sarma cites two other books on that sentence. Maybe these sources have more:

Aryabhata (476-550 CE) was thought to have lived in Pataliputra and studied and taught at Nalanda. His contributions in the fields of mathematics and astronomy are immense. K., A. (2025). Nalanda: How it Changed the World. India: Penguin Random House India Private Limited.
It seems that Aryabhata I was an Asmaka who lived at Pataliputra (modern Patna) in Magadha (modern Bihar) and wrote his Aryabhafiya there. Magadha in ancient times was a great centre of learning. The famous University of Nalanda" was situated in that state in the modern district of Patna. There was a special provision for the study of astronomy in this University. According to D.G. Apte, 4 an astronomical observatory was a special feature of this University, lm a passage quoted above, Aryabhata I has been designated as Kulapa (Kulapati or Head of a University). It is quite likely that he was a Kulapati of the University of Nalanda which was in a flourishing state in the fifth and sixth centuries A.D. when Aryabhata I lived. ARYABHATIYA OF ARYABHATA (transltion) By KRIPA SHANKAR SHUKLA. However this source was created in collaboration with Sarma.
