India history and geography
: Ancient Buddhist Texts: Geography of Early Buddhism峁氠梗颈驳颈谤颈 (啶嬥し啶苦啶苦ぐ啶�) is another name for Girivraja or Giribbaja: an ancient capital of Magadha, one of the sixteen Mah膩janapadas of the Majjhimadesa (Middle Country) of ancient India, according to the Mah膩bh膩rata.鈥擡arly P膩li literature abounds in information about the Magadha country, its people, and its ancient capital Giribbaja. Magadha roughly corresponds to the modern Patna and Gay膩 districts of Bihar. The Mah膩bh膩rata seems to record that Girivraja was also called B膩rhadrathapura as well as M膩gadhapura and that M膩gadhapura was a well-fortified city being protected by five hills. Other names recorded in the Mah膩bh膩rata are Var膩ha, Vrishabha, Rishigiri, and Caityaka. The statement of the Mah膩bh膩rata that Girivraja was protected by five hills is strikingly confirmed by the Vim膩navatthu Commentary in which we read that the city of Giribbaja was encircled by the mountains Isigili, Vepulla, Vebhara, Pa峁囜笉ava and Gijjhak奴峁璦.
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.
