Jyotisha (astronomy and astrology)
Source: Wisdom Library: Brihat Samhita by VarahamihiraPratyanta (啶啶班い啷嵿く啶ㄠ啶�) refers to the 鈥渂order princes鈥� (i.e., Mlecchas), according to the B峁沨atsa峁僪it膩 (chapter 4), an encyclopedic Sanskrit work written by Var膩hamihira mainly focusing on the science of ancient Indian astronomy astronomy (Jyoti峁).鈥擜ccordingly, 鈥淚f, during the waxing moon, Mars should be eclipsed by a horn, the border (mleccha) princes [i.e., pratyanta] as well as wicked rulers will suffer; if Saturn should be so eclipsed there will be fear from weapons and from hunger; if Mercury should be so eclipsed there will be drought and famine in the land; if Jupiter should be so eclipsed eminent princes will suffer; and if Venus, the minor princes will suffer. As regards the waning moon the subject has been elsewhere treated鈥�.
Jyotisha (啶溹啶啶むた啶�, 箩测辞迟颈峁 or jyotish) refers to 鈥榓stronomy鈥� or 鈥淰edic astrology鈥� and represents the fifth of the six Vedangas (additional sciences to be studied along with the Vedas).

India history and geography
: What is India: Inscriptions of the Early Gupta KingsPratyanta (啶啶班い啷嵿く啶ㄠ啶�).鈥擳he pratyanta countries specified are as follows: (1) Samata峁璦, (2) 岣宎v膩ka, (3) K膩mar奴pa, (4) Nep膩la and (5) Kar峁璻ipura. It will thus be seen that the pratyanta kingdoms bordered the Gupta dominions on the east and the north and that they were called pratyanta because they were on the frontiers of 膧ry膩varta. But on the west and north-west of these dominions were many tiny states which in this period seem to have been governed by various tribes of whom as many as nine have been named.
: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Indian Epigraphical GlossaryPratyanta.鈥�(IE 8-4; CII 1), a state beyond the borders of one's territories; a land outside one's dominions; also its people; cf. anta. Note: pratyanta is defined in the 鈥淚ndian epigraphical glossary鈥� as it can be found on ancient inscriptions commonly written in Sanskrit, Prakrit or Dravidian languages.
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.
