Q. Who founded the famous Vikramshila University for the Buddhists?
Answer: Dharampala
Notes: The Vikramasila University was one of the two most important centers of Buddhist learning in India during the Pala dynasty, along with Nalanda University. It was established by King Dharmapala (783 to 820) in response to a supposed decline in the quality of scholarship at Nalanda. Atisha, the renowned pandita, is sometimes listed as a notable abbot. It lasted four centuries before being destroyed during an attack by Bakhtiyar Khilji of the Delhi Sultanate.
