India history and geography
: What is India: Epigraphia Indica volume XXXI (1955-56)痴颈艣惫补辫腻峁噄 is one of the Br膩hma峁嘺 donees mentioned in the 鈥淎sankhali plates of Narasi峁僪a II鈥� (1302 A.D.). When a grant was made to a large number of Br膩hma峁嘺s, the chief amongst the donees seems to have been called P膩n墨yagr膩hin especially. In the present record, though all the donees (e.g., 痴颈艣惫补辫腻峁噄) are referred to as P膩峁噄gr膩hi-mah膩jana, their list is headed by a Br膩hma峁嘺 with P膩峁噄grah墨 as his surname.
These copper plates (mentioning 痴颈艣惫补辫腻峁噄) were discovered from the house of a Santal inhabitant of Pargana Asankhali in the Mayurbhanj State (Orissa). It was made when king V墨ra-Narasi峁僪adeva was staying at the Bhairavapura-ka峁璦ka (city, camp or residence).
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.
