2-Nagarjun |
Nagarjun (pronounced as Naagaarjun), was an extraordinary wizard of science
born in the nondescript village of Balukaa in Madhya Pradesh, India around
100 BC.
His dedicated research for twelve years produced maiden discoveries and
inventions in the faculties of chemistry and metallurgy. Textual masterpieces
like "Ras Ratnaakar", "Ras Hridaya" and "Rasendra
Mangal" are his renowned contributions to the science of chemistry.
Where the medieval alchemists of England failed, Nagarjun had discovered the
alchemy of transmuting base metals into gold. As the author of medical books
like "Arogya Manjaree" and "Yogasar" he also made significant
contributions to the field of curative medicine. Because of his profound
scholarliness and versatile knowledge, he was appointed as Chancellor of the
famous University of Naalandaa. Nagarjun's milestone discoveries impress and
astonish the scientists even of today. |
