India history and geography
Source: archive.org: Ceylon Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society 1963Cayantī is the name of a tank that existed in the ancient kingdom of Anurādhapura, Ceylon (Sri Lanka).—Vasabha (67-111) built Cayantī tank, also called Mayanti and Māyetti, in Pacchimadesa, the western quarter. Jeṭṭhatissa III (628) gave the village Sahannanagara to Mayettikassapāvāsa-vihāra, and Aggabodhi III (629-639) donated Sālaggāma to the same Vihāra. Sāligāma was a village near the west gate of Anurādhapura. Udaya II (887-898) enlarged the dam of Mayettī tank. Codrington proposes to identify Mayettī tank with one of the reservoirs, Nāccaduva or Eruvāva, but neither of these is in Pacchimadesa: more probably, Mayettī was one of the two large Vilacciya tanks, Mahavilacciya or Kuḍāvilacciya.
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.
