In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): (Jainism)Caulukya (चौलुक्�) refers to a royal dynasty, according to the 12th century Yogaśāstra (verse 12.55) by Hemacandra: a Jain treatise dealing with Yoga and the highest reality (tattva).—Accordingly, “[This] Upaniṣad of Yoga, which is a cause of wonder in the mind of the assembly of the wise, was known from scripture, from the mouth of a good Guru and a little from experience in various places. Because of the profuse requesting of the Caulukya king (śīܱܰⲹ), Kumārapāla, it was placed in the realm of words by his teacher, the honourable Hemacandra. [...]�.

Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
India history and geography
: OpenEdition books: վīٳ첹貹� (History)Caulukya (चौलुक्�) (or ܰ첹) refers to an ancient dynasty of Gujarat, as is mentioned in the վīٳ첹貹 by Jinaprabhasūri (13th century A.D.): an ancient text devoted to various Jaina holy places (īٳ).—List of the eleven Caulukya kings of which Aṇahilapura was the capital: Mūlarāja, Cāmuṇḍarāja, Vallabharāja, Durlabha, Bhīmadeva, Karṇa, Jayasiṃha, Kumārapāla, Ajayapāla, Bālamūlarāja, Bhīmadeva.
Note: List of Caulukya of վīٳ첹貹 is the same in the Ratnamālā (JBBRAS IX p. 33-34); Cāmuṇḍarāja is missing in the Therāvali (JBBRAS IX p. 155). The names of the last two rulers are Laghubhīma and Arṇorāja in the KP (= Kumārapālaprabodhaprabandha ?) (101.18-19).—The list of վīٳ첹貹 is corroborated by nos . 4-10 of the “Grants of the Aṇhilvād Caulukya� in Bühler IA VI p. 180-214. Epigraphic evidence is abundant for the Caulukya dynasty: for other references, cf. p. ex. Ray 1936 II p. 933-1051 and Sankalia 1941 p. 36-41.

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 संस्कृतम� (ṃsṛt), 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.
