India history and geography
Source: archive.org: Nilamata Purana: a cultural and literary study (history)Uśīradhvaja (उशीरध्वज) is the name of a mountain mentioned in the Vinaya texts that may correspond to the Uśīraka mountain of the Nīlmatapurāṇa.—Uśīradhvaja of the Vinaya texts, Uśīragiri of the Divyāvadāna, Uśīnara of the Pāli literature and Uśīnaragiri of the Kathāsaritsāgara which are regarded by B.G. Law as designations of one and the same mountain, may be identical with Uśīraka mentioned in the Nīlamata. Uśīraka, according to the Nīlamata (verse 966), is located in Dārva country and, therefore, may be identified with some hill of Siwalik range to the south of Kaśmīra.
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.
