India history and geography
: What is India: Inscriptions of the 艢il膩h膩ras1) 笔谤补峁嚹乴补 is the name of a kingdom (惫颈峁测补), of 笔谤补峁嚹乴补ka is the capital-country, according to the 鈥淧anh膩le plates of Vikram膩ditya鈥�. Accordingly, 鈥淗is offspring, Vikram膩dityadeva obtained the kingdom of 笔谤补峁嚹乴补, though there were other sons of (his father ). Though there were (numerous) jewels of the milk-ocean, only one of them, the Kaustubha, became the companion of 艢r墨 (the goddess of fortune), (when she was churned out of the ocean)鈥�.
2) Pr膩n膩la is the name of a village mentioned in the 鈥淏ritish museum stone inscription of the reign of Harip膩ladeva鈥�. Dik峁t identified Pr膩n膩la (which he read as 笔谤补峁嚹乴补 ) with the fort of Panh膩岣纺� in the Kolh膩pur District, and Tulpule with Panvel in the Kol膩b膩 District. Both the identifications appear unlikely; for stone inscriptions are not generally transported far from their original places, and Mallik膩rjuna is not known to have extended his sway to the Kolh膩pur reigion.
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.
