2-Nagarjun: wizard of chemical science

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.
