India history and geography
Source: What is India: Inscriptions of the ŚilāhārasĀsala (आसल) is the name of a village mentioned in the “Ṭhāṇā plates of Mummuṇirāja”. Accordingly, “out of the produce of the food-grains from the village Āsala situated in this viṣaya, the boundaries of which are as follows:‒on the east, a viraka in the village Vaḍavalī; on the south, also a viraka; on the west, a large mountain; on the north, a viraka on the boundary of the village”.
About a furlong to north of Bhūtavali we come across a small hamlet called Āsala, which is indicated by the same name in the charter.
These copper plates (mentioning Āsala) were discovered in 1956 while digging the ground between the Church and the District Office at Ṭhāṇā, the chief town of the Ṭhāṇā District in Mahārāṣṭra. Its object is to record the grant, by the Śilāhāra Mummuṇirāja, of some villages and lands to learned Brāhmaṇas on the occasion of the lunar eclipse on the fifteenth tithi of the bright fortnight of Phālguna in the Śaka year 970, the cyclic year being Sarvadhārin.
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.
