In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: archive.org: Trisastisalakapurusacaritra峾 (रामगिर�) is the name of a Mountain, according to the Jain Ramayana and chapter 7.5 [The kidnapping of Sītā] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.—Accordingly, “[...] Then the lord of Vaṃśasthala, King Suraprabha, came there, bowed to Rāma, and honored him very much. 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�.

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.
: What is India: Inscriptions of the Vākāṭakas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.

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.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम� (ṃsṛt), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
