India history and geography
Source: Heidelberg: Glory of the Tiruvanantapuram Padmanabhasvami TempleVilvamaṅgala (विल्वमङ्गल) is the name of a sage who lived in North Malabar (Cf. Raja 1958, 41; Bayi 1995, 20).— There is an another version of the origin of the Thiruvananthapuram Temple which relates to a Nampūtiri Brahmin sage by name Vilvamaṅgala (from North Malabar), who used to have visions of a god in the form of a boy during his daily rituals. One day, during the sage’s daily worship, the boy took away the śālagrāma. The sage became angry and the boy vanished. The sage went looking for the boy and finally located him in a place known as Anantankāṭu or “forest of Ananta” in the south of Kerala, which is today the city of Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum). The sage Vilvamaṅgala had a vision of Viṣṇu reclining on the serpent Ananta and, not having anything suitable to offer, he plucked a few unripe mangoes and placed them in a coconut shell lying there.
Note: Referring to K. Rama Pisharoti, K. Kunjunni Raja (1958, 41) observes that “there were three Vilvamaṅgalas: the first was the author of the Kṛṣṇakarṇāmṛta and flourished in the ninth century A.D.; the second Vilvamaṅgala is identified with the grammarian who wrote the Puruṣakāra commentary on Daiva; and the third was a contemporary of Mānadeva, Zamorin of Calicut, who flourished in the seventeenth century”.
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.
