India history and geography
: OpenEdition books: ³Õ¾±±¹¾±»å³ó²¹³ÙÄ«°ù³Ù³ó²¹°ì²¹±ô±è²¹á¸� (History)°äÄå±è´Ç³Ù°ì²¹á¹a (चापोतà¥à¤•ट) (cf. CÄukkaá¸a) refers to the dynasty of Gujarat, as is mentioned in the ³Õ¾±±¹¾±»å³ó²¹³ÙÄ«°ù³Ù³ó²¹°ì²¹±ô±è²¹ by JinaprabhasÅ«ri (13th century A.D.): an ancient text devoted to various Jaina holy places (³ÙÄ«°ù³Ù³ó²¹²õ).—Jinaprabha lists the seven kings of the °äÄå±è´Ç³Ù°ì²¹á¹a dynasty, of which Aṇahilapura (PÄtan) was the capital: VÄṇarÄya, JogarÄya, KhemarÄya, BhÅ«aá¸a, VayarasÄ«ha, RayaṇÄicca, SÄmaṃtasÄ«ha.
Note: The °äÄå±è´Ç³Ù°ì²¹á¹a dynasty, whose existence is proved by the “NavsÄri grant of Pulakeśī JanÄÅ›rÄyaâ€� (Vocr p. 230, cited by Sankalia 1941 p. 36), is only known in detail from the lists of the various prabandha. ³Õ¾±±¹¾±»å³ó²¹³ÙÄ«°ù³Ù³ó²¹°ì²¹±ô±è²¹â€™s list corresponds to that of RatnamÄlÄ (cited BURGESS 1903 p.7) and to that of PrabandhacintÄmaṇi (14.26-15.4). A slight variation is found in the KumÄrapÄlacarita list: the fourth king is BhÅ«yarÄja and not BhÅ«yaá¸a. Two other traditions seem to be at the origin of the Suká¹›tasaṃkÄ«rtana of Arisiṃha (quoted Burgess 1903 p. 7) and of the TherÄvali of Merutunga (JBBRAS IX p. 155).

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.

Sanskrit, also spelled संसà¥à¤•ृतमà¥� (²õ²¹á¹ƒs°ìá¹›t²¹³¾), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
