India history and geography
Source: What is India: Inscriptions of the ŚilāhārasAiyapa (ऐयप) of the Śilāra (i.e., Śilāhāra) line of kings is mentioned in the Paṭṭaṇakuḍi plates of Avasara II.—“Ammalla’s son was the king Aiyapa, who inflicted severe punishment (on his foes). From him was born his son Ādityavarman, who himself destroyed his chief foes by his valour even as the Sun dispels a mass of darkness by his light, and who endeared himself to his subjects”.
These copper plates (mentioning Aiyapa) were obtained from Tonappa Parisa Upadhye, the priest of the Jain basti of Paṭṭaṇakudi, who claims that they have been preserved as heirloom in his family. The inscription refers itself to the reign of the Śilāra (i.e. Śilāhāra) king Avasara II, ruling from Balinagara. The inscription is dated in the expired Śaka year 910 (expressed in words), the cyclic year being Sarvadhārin, on Monday, the fifth tithi of the bright fortnight of Kārttika.
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.
