Her brothers were Da峁囜笉ap膩峁噄 and Suprabuddha and her sister was Mah膩m膩y膩, mother of the Buddha. The latter had died eight days after the birth and Mah膩praj膩pat墨 took the place of mother to the Buddha.
Mahayana (啶す啶距く啶距え, mah膩y膩na) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many 蝉奴迟谤补蝉 of which some of the earliest are the various Praj帽膩p膩ramit膩 蝉奴迟谤补蝉.
India history and geography

The Lalitavistara calls [Kapilavatthu as] Kapilavastu and sometimes Kapilapura or Kapil膩hvayapura. According to Yuan Chwang it was about 500 li south-east from the neighbourhood of Sr膩vast墨. Besides Kapilavastu there were also other 艢膩kya towns: C膩tum膩, S膩mag膩ma, Ulump膩, Devadaha, Sakkara, S墨lavat墨 and Khomadussa.
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.
