You’re flagging the claim:

“Bhāskara II's Bījagaṇita (1150 CE) defines the quotient 3/0 as khahara — "termed an infinite quantity" — and states it is unaltered by adding or subtracting finite amounts. A deliberate algebraic definition of division by zero, five centuries before Europe acquired a working infinity symbol (Wallis, 1655). His wider system still misfires — elsewhere a quantity multiplied then divided by zero recovers its finite value — but the definition itself is the first of its kind. ”
