The given statement is True.
Aryabhata, an astronomer and mathematician, wrote the Aryabhatiyam in Sanskrit. He claimed that day and night were caused by the earth's rotation on its axis, although the sun rises and sets every day. He also developed a scientific explanation for eclipses. Moreover, he discovered a method for calculating the circumference of a circle that is nearly as precise as the formula used today. Other mathematicians and astronomers who made significant discoveries included Varahamihira, Brahmagupta, and Bhaskaracharya.
