India history and geography
: Google Books: Medieval Orissa: A Socio-economic StudyPatna refers to one of the various Urban centers (nagari) of ancient India (Medieval Orissa).� Urban centers generally represent a socio-economic organization different from that of rural settlements; but the records, apart from providing a few names, do not furnish any details at all regarding the urban centres that existed in this period.

: archive.org: Personal and geographical names in the Gupta inscriptionsPatna is the modern equivalent of ṭaٰܳ: a place name mentioned in the Gupta inscriptions. The Gupta empire (r. 3rd-century CE), founded by Śrī Gupta, covered much of ancient India and embraced the Dharmic religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. ṭaٰܳ is the same as modern Patna situated to the south of the river Gaṅgā. Patna (from Sanskrit Pattana) means the “town� or “city�.

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.
