India history and geography
: archive.org: Vagbhata鈥檚 Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (history)Derge or sDe-dge, also spelt bDe-dge and sDe-deg, is a remote place and principality in Eastern Tibet. It lies on the left bank of the Yang-tse-kiang in the 贬蝉颈-碍鈥檃苍驳 province. Of the several monasteries belonging to this principality, that of Derge itself is the most famous. It is occupied by followers of the Tantric 谤脩颈峁�-尘补-辫补 sect, who disavow the reforms of At墨艣a and 产罢蝉辞峁�-办丑补-辫补. As late as the 19th century, the Yellow Church had not yet succeeded in getting any hold on the region.
The Kanjur and Tanjur editions of this lamasery must therefore be considered heterodox. The Kanjur blocks of the first impression are said to have dated from the 15th or 16th century.
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.
