Who among the following anticipated Newton by declaring that all things gravitate to the earth?

1. The question asks which ancient Indian scholar anticipated Newton's theory of gravity by stating that all things gravitate to the earth. 2. Brahmagupta (c. 598–668 CE), a prominent Indian mathematician and astronomer, in his work Brahmasphutasiddhanta, described gravity as an attractive force. 3. He used the term 'gurutvākarṣaṇam' (गुरुत्वाकर्षणम्) to describe this force, stating that "Bodies fall towards the earth as it is in the nature of the earth to attract bodies, just as it is in the nature of water to flow." 4. While Aryabhata made significant contributions to astronomy and mathematics, and Varahamihira was a renowned astronomer and astrologer, it was Brahmagupta who explicitly discussed gravity as an attractive property of the Earth. 5. Buddha Gupta refers to a Gupta emperor, not primarily known for scientific pronouncements on gravity.
