Deva-vārika (EI 27), superintendent of a temple; also cf. Tamil Vāriyan (SITI), a supervisor. Cf. Mahāgandhakuṭī-vārika (LL), ‘superintendent of the great gandhakūṭī (q. v.).’ The official designation Pāṭvāri seems to be derived from Paṭṭavārika. Cf. Tamil vāriyaṃ (SITI), an executive committee; appointment as a member of that body; an office of superivision; cf. śrībhaṇḍāra-vāriyam (EI 33). See SII, Vol. III, p. 151, note. Cf. bārika (EI 5, 19), a village official; one entrusted with putting an official seal or stamp to a document; cf. bārika-jana-hasta. Note: vārika is defined in the “Indian epigraphical glossary” as it can be found on ancient inscriptions commonly written in Sanskrit, Prakrit or Dravidian languages.
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 संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), 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.
