And just to get a feel for some of his writing, obviously this isn't Sanskrit, this is English, and this is from the recognition of Shakuntala, which is one of his most famous works. Wouldst thou the young years blossoms and the fruits of its decline, and all by which the soul is charmed and raptured, feasted, fed? Wouldst thou the earth and heaven itself in one soul name combine? I name thee, O Shakuntala, and all at once is said. Beyond literature and writing, you have significant contributions to science, most notably Aryabhata. He's known for a very accurate approximation of pi, but even more important, a recognition that was an approximation and that he potentially recognized the irrationality of pi, one of the first to do so. The word sine, the trig function, is derived from Aryabhata's word for that function, and so he established some of the early ideas of trigonometry.
