5. BIRTH
Aryabhata mentions in the Aryabhatiya that it was
composed 3,600 years into the Kali Yuga when he was
23 years old. This corresponds to 499 CE, and implies
that he was born in 476.[4]
Aryabhata provides no information about his place of
birth. The only information comes fromBhāskara I who
describes Aryabhata as āśmakīya, "one belonging to
the aśmaka country." During the Buddha's time, a
branch of the Aśmaka people settled in the region
between theNarmada and Godavari rivers in central
India; Aryabhata is believed to have been born
there.[6][8]

9. Ramanujan was born on 22 December 1887 inErode, Madras Presidency
(now Pallipalayam, Erode, Tamil Nadu), at the residence of his maternal grandparents in
a Brahmin family.[5] His father, K. Srinivasa Iyengar, worked as a clerk in a sari shop and
hailed from the district of Thanjavur.[6] His mother, Komalatammal, was a housewife and
also sang at a local temple.[7] They lived in Sarangapani Street in a traditional home in the
town of Kumbakonam. The family home is now a museum. When Ramanujan was a year
and a half old, his mother gave birth to a son named Sadagopan, who died less than three
months later. In December 1889, Ramanujan had smallpox and recovered, unlike
thousands in the Thanjavur District who died from the disease that year.[8] He moved with
his mother to her parents' house in Kanchipuram, near Madras (nowChennai). In
November 1891, and again in 1894, his mother gave birth to two children, but both children
died in infancy.
BIRTH
10. On 1 October 1892, Ramanujan was enrolled at the local school.[9] In March 1894, he
was moved to a Tamil medium school. After his maternal grandfather lost his job as a
court official in Kanchipuram,[10] Ramanujan and his mother moved back
to Kumbakonam and he was enrolled in the Kangayan Primary School.[11] When his
paternal grandfather died, he was sent back to his maternal grandparents, who were
then living in Madras. He did not like school in Madras, and he tried to avoid
attending. His family enlisted a local constable to make sure he attended school.
Within six months, Ramanujan was back in Kumbakonam.[11]
