India history and geography
: Singhi Jain Series: Ratnaprabha-suri鈥檚 Kuvalayamala-katha (history)Boats or Ships were commonly employed for Sea-voyages in ancient India (known in Prakrit as: 箩补迟迟腻, or Sanskrit: 测腻迟谤腻), and was vividly depicted in the Kath膩s (narrative poems) such as Uddyotanas奴ri in his 8th-century Kuvalayam膩l膩 (a Prakrit Camp奴, similar to K膩vya poetry).鈥擠etails of preparation for sea-voyage are given which include the following items relating to preparatory ritual and the equipment of the ship: [e.g., arrangement of boats or ships;] [...]. When the boat was to take off auspicious musical instruments were sounded, conch-shells were blown, auspicious songs were sung, Brahmins muttered the 腻蝉墨蝉腻; and thus in the sound of invocation and jaya jaya the boat took off its voyage, the sails were unfurled, the ropes and riggings were pulled up, the oars began to be operated, the helmsman took observations, the boat fell into its course, favourable winds began to blow: thus the boat started its journey being tossed on the high sea waves.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
