# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in 1114 in Vijjadavida, in the Satpura ranges of what is now Maharashtra, Bhāskara came from a Deshastha Brahmin line thick with scholars and astronomers. He rose to lead the observatory at Ujjain, the old mathematical heart of India, and around midcentury completed his Siddhānta-Śiromaṇi — "Crown of Treatises" — a four-part work spanning arithmetic (Līlāvatī), algebra (Bījagaṇita), planetary mathematics (Grahagaṇita), and spheres (Golādhyāya). Each section doubled as a standalone text. He also wrote the Karaṇā Kautūhala. An inscription in a Maharashtra temple, said to be carved by his grandson Changadeva, traces his lineage forward and back across generations. He died in 1185, leaving a body of work that Henry Colebrooke would translate into English six centuries later — the first European rendering of the mathematics that had quietly anchored an entire tradition.
