In Hinduism
Kavya (poetry)
Source: Wisdom Library: KathÄsaritsÄgara³§²¹³¾²¹°ù²¹²õ¾±á¹ƒh²¹ (समरसिंà¤�) is the name of a warrior (sainya) in service of king VikramÄditya from UjjayinÄ«, according to the KathÄsaritsÄgara, chapter 121. Accordingly, â€�... and the following speeches of the military officers, assigning elephants and horses, were heard in the neighbourhood of the city [UjjayinÄ«] when the kings started, and within the city itself when the sovereign started: ‘[...] ³§²¹³¾²¹°ù²¹²õ¾±á¹ƒh²¹ [must take] the white mare Gaá¹…gÄlaharÄ« of pure Sindh breed...’â€�.
The KathÄsaritsÄgara (‘ocean of streams of storyâ€�), mentioning ³§²¹³¾²¹°ù²¹²õ¾±á¹ƒh²¹, is a famous Sanskrit epic story revolving around prince NaravÄhanadatta and his quest to become the emperor of the ±¹¾±»å²âÄå»å³ó²¹°ù²¹²õ (celestial beings). The work is said to have been an adaptation of GuṇÄá¸hya’s Bá¹›hatkathÄ consisting of 100,000 verses, which in turn is part of a larger work containing 700,000 verses.

Kavya (कावà¥à¤�, kavya) refers to Sanskrit poetry, a popular ancient Indian tradition of literature. There have been many Sanskrit poets over the ages, hailing from ancient India and beyond. This topic includes mahakavya, or ‘epic poetryâ€� and natya, or ‘dramatic poetryâ€�.
Jyotisha (astronomy and astrology)
: Journal of South Asian Intellectual History: ³§²¹³¾²¹°ù²¹²õ¾±á¹ƒh²¹ and the Early Transmission of TÄjika Astrology³§²¹³¾²¹°ù²¹²õ¾±á¹ƒh²¹ (समरसिंà¤�) is the name of an author on TÄjika doctrine: a Sanskritized version of Perso-Arabic astrology sharing a core of pre-Islamic Indian Âá²â´Ç³Ù¾±á¹£a and Hellenistic astrology.—³§²¹³¾²¹°ù²¹²õ¾±á¹ƒh²¹ of the PrÄgvÄá¹akula wrote his Gaṇakabhūṣaṇa or TÄjikatantrasÄra or KarmaprakÄÅ›ikÄ in GujarÄt in 1274. He traces his ancestry through the PrÄgvÄá¹a clan (anvaya). This is a mixed Jain and Hindu kinship group, known today as Porwad or Porwal and generally considered to form part of the non-Brahman BaniyÄ or merchant caste. Despite the high social standing that ³§²¹³¾²¹°ù²¹²õ¾±á¹ƒh²¹ claims for his family, it thus appears that, contrary to the assertions of later TÄjika authors, he was not a Brahman. About two generations after his presumed floruit, another PrÄgvÄá¹a author on TÄjika, Tejaḥsiṃha, even refers to himself as ‘the son of a Śūdraâ€�, asking that readers not disregard his work on that account. Tejaḥsiṃha, whose precise relationship (if any) to ³§²¹³¾²¹°ù²¹²õ¾±á¹ƒh²¹ is unknown but who belonged to the same PrÄgvÄá¹a community, likewise claimed a family connection with the Caulukyas in a ministerial capacity.

Jyotisha (जà¥à¤¯à¥‹à¤¤à¤¿à¤�, Âá²â´Ç³Ù¾±á¹£a or jyotish) refers to ‘astronomyâ€� or “Vedic astrologyâ€� and represents the fifth of the six Vedangas (additional sciences to be studied along with the Vedas). Jyotisha concerns itself with the study and prediction of the movements of celestial bodies, in order to calculate the auspicious time for rituals and ceremonies.
In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: HereNow4u: Jain Dharma ka Maulika Itihasa (2)³§²¹³¾²¹°ù²¹²õ¾±á¹ƒh²¹ (समरसिंà¤�) was the father of BhadrayaÅ›a.—[...] The ‘ŚrÄ« PÄsanÄha Cariyaṃâ€� gives the following description of Lord PÄrÅ›vanÄtha’s Gaṇadharas (principal disciples).—“[...] BhadrayaÅ›a was the eighth Gaṇadhara of The Lord. His father was ³§²¹³¾²¹°ù²¹²õ¾±á¹ƒh²¹ and mother PadmÄ. In a garden named Mattakumṃja he saw a man wrapped in pointed nails. When BhadrayaÅ›a removed the nails from his body he got to know that his brother had done this on account of a past life's enmity. Seeing the selfishness of this world his mind became detached from the world. With many of his friends he accepted initiation from Lord PÄrÅ›vanÄtha and became a Gaṇadharaâ€�.

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
: JatLand: India History³§²¹³¾²¹°ù²¹²õ¾±á¹ƒh²¹ (r. c. 1182-1204 CE) was an Indian king belonging to the Chahamana dynasty of Javalipura (present-day Jalore in Rajasthan). He ruled the area around Jalore as a Chaulukya feudatory. Samarasimha succeeded his father Kirtipala on the Chahamana throne of Javalipura. His two sons were Manavasimha and Udayasimha. The elder son Manavasimha was an ancestor of the founders of the Chauhan principalities of Chandravati and Abu. Udayasimha succeeded Samarasimha on the throne of Jalore.

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 to German]
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.
