India history and geography
Cāpotkaṭa (चापोत्कट) (cf. Cāukkaḍa) refers to the dynasty of Gujarat, as is mentioned in the Vividhatīrthakalpa by Jinaprabhasūri (13th century A.D.): an ancient text devoted to various Jaina holy places (tīrthas).—Jinaprabha lists the seven kings of the Cāpotkaṭa dynasty, of which Aṇahilapura (Pātan) was the capital: Vāṇarāya, Jogarāya, Khemarāya, Bhūaḍa, Vayarasīha, Rayaṇāicca, Sāmaṃtasīha.
Note: The Cāpotkaṭa dynasty, whose existence is proved by the “Navsāri grant of Pulakeśī Janāśrāya” (Vocr p. 230, cited by Sankalia 1941 p. 36), is only known in detail from the lists of the various prabandha. Vividhatīrthakalpa’s list corresponds to that of Ratnamālā (cited BURGESS 1903 p.7) and to that of Prabandhacintāmaṇi (14.26-15.4). A slight variation is found in the Kumārapālacarita list: the fourth king is Bhūyarāja and not Bhūyaḍa. Two other traditions seem to be at the origin of the Sukṛtasaṃkīrtana of Arisiṃha (quoted Burgess 1903 p. 7) and of the Therāvali of Merutunga (JBBRAS IX p. 155).
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, 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.
