The History of Sarnath mentions that Sarnath had also been referred as 'Mrigadava' meaning 'deer park'.
The History of Sarnath India began with the arrival of Gautam Buddha at this place in 528 B.C. after he attained enlightenment at Bodh Gaya. Here he preached his first discourse to his five former companions. This event is described in Buddhist texts as dharmachakra - pravartana, meaning the turning of the Wheel of Law.
