India history and geography
: archive.org: Ceylon Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society 1963Padiv膩pi is the name of a tank possibly corresponding with Dhanav膩pi, built by Moggall膩na II (531-551), that existed near the ancient kingdom of 础苍耻谤腻诲丑补辫耻谤补, Ceylon (Sri Lanka).鈥擜 district named Dhanapi峁弓hi or Valpi峁璦 is mentioned in the reign of Datta (683-684) who built Datta-vih膩ra in it. Note: In a Paper in U.C.R. XVI, 70, Professor Paranavitana identifies Dhanav膩pi or Dan膩v膩va as the earlier name of Padiv膩pi.
The P膩li Chronicles, strangely, contain no reference to the original construction of the largest of the ancient reservoirs, Pad墨v膩pi, now known as Padaviya: a Sinhalese Chronicle ascribes the work to Saddh膩 Tissa (B.C. 137-119) but it is extremely doubtful whether so large a tank could have been constructed at this early period. Parakkamab膩hu I (1153-1186) restored Pad墨v膩pi and an inscription of this king states that the length of the bund was 3,200 riyan. Nissa峁卥a Malla (1187-1196) decreed Pad墨v膩pi a sanctuary for animals. The surrounding district was known as Pad墨-ra峁弓ha and was in Uttarapassa (the northern province).
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.
