India history and geography
: Ancient Buddhist Texts: Geography of Early Buddhism痴峁沯颈 (啶掂啶溹た) or Vajji refers to one of the sixteen Mah膩janapadas of the Majjhimadesa (Middle Country) of ancient India, as recorded in the P膩li Buddhist texts (detailing the geography of ancient India as it was known in to Early Buddhism).鈥擳he Vajji or Vriji clan is mentioned by P膩峁噄ni and Kau峁璱lya who however, distinguishes the Vrijikas or Vajjis from the Licchavikas. Yuan Chwang also distinguishes the Fu-li-chih (Vriji) country from Fei-she-li (Vai艣膩l墨). Vrijika or Vajji was not only the name of the confederacy, but also of one of the constituent clans. But the Vajjis, like the Licchavis, are often associated with the city of Ves膩l墨 which was not only the capital of the Licchavi clan, but also the metropolis of the entire confederacy.
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.

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.
