Odantapuri, Where, Where The Buddhist Vihara Of Yore, Ancient Times? Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Odantapuri, Where, Where The Buddhist Vihara Of Yore, Ancient Times?



Where, where Odantapuri,
Odantapuri
The Buddhist vihara,
Vihara of the ancient times,
Of yore
Standing as a lighthouse
Learning and excellence,
Inspiring foreign students
Coming from far,
Tibet, Sri Lanka and beyond,
Odantapuri,
Also spelled Uddandapura,
Odantapura
In present-day
Bihar's Magadhan
Bihar Sharif?

The ruins,
Ruins of the vihara,
Buddhist vihara
Drawing students from far,
Tibet and beyond,
Standing as a citadel of learning
And excellence,
Vihara,
Buddhist vihara,
Odantapuri?

Ancient university Odantapuri ruins,
How to view,
View it
On Hiranya Prabhat Parvat,
Located on
Ancient Odantapura,
Buddhist vihara,
Mahavihara
As a citadel of learning
And excellence
And which held the people
Once from far,
Drawing to,
Attracting for a visit?
