At Rāma’s command he had shrines to the Arhats made on the mountains and from that time the mountain was named ‘峾� from Rāma’s name�.

context information

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

: archive.org: Geography in Ancient Indian inscriptions

峾 (रामगिर�) is referred to in Rithpur copper-plate inscription of Prabhāvatīguptā. The inscription purports to have issued from the temple Pādamūla of Rāmacandra, who is mentioned as 峾-swāmi, i.e., the Lord of 峾. The Poona grant of Prabhāvatīguptā is said to have been offered first to this temple of Lord (of 峾) and then to the particular Ācāryas. Itseems that the footprints of Rāmacandra established in the temple dedicated to Him were in worship in 峾 in the fifth century A.D. Meghadūta describes the Āśrama on the 峾 being sanctified by the ablutions of Sītā. The place was surrounded by the shady trees, extensive and dense jungle and reddish stones.

Wilson identified 峾 with Ramtek, a taluq town of Nagpur district, forty-two kilometres north of Nagpur, three miles from Nandardhan, the capital of the Vākāṭakas. Mr. K.B. Pathak, however, suggested that 峾 should be identified with Ramgarh hills in Suguja district, Madhya Pradesh, owing to its extreme proximity to Āmrakūṭa or Amarakaṇṭaka as specified in the Meghadhūta.

峾 (रामगिर�) is undoubtedly modern Rāmṭek, about 28 miles north of Nāgpur. It lies only about 3 miles from Nandivardhana, modern Nagardhan, the earlier capital of the Vākāṭakas. In Kālidāsa’s Meghadūta, 峾 is mentioned as the place where the ⲹṣa, exiled from Alakā, lived for a year. From the description in Kālidāsa’s poem we learn that the hill was marked by the venerable foot-prints of Raghupati (Rāmacandra), and it is noteworthy that the present grant was made by Prabhāvatīguptā near the foot-prints of the Lord of 峾.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम� (ṃsṛt), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!).
