India history and geography
Source: archive.org: Vagbhata’s Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (history)Chone or Co-ne, less correctly spelt Co-ni, is a village (pop. 2000) and monastery in the A-mdo province of North-East Tibet or, according to another version, in the south-western part of the Kansu (Gansu) province of China. Situated not far from the upper course of the Hwang-ho, it once was the centre of all yellow-cap lamaseries in that region and later came to be a stronghold of the Yellow Church there, housing some 3800 monks under the rule of Yung-lo (1403—25).
The wood-blocks of the first Kanjur and Tanjur edition, which along with many others were deposited in the huge archives, are said to have dated from the 15th or 16th century. The library and the printing press were completely destroyed, and the buildings badly damaged, when Mohammadan fanatics under the command of the four brothers Ma devastated the province in the early 1930s. The monastery itself was reconstructed in after years, but its treasures are lost for ever.
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.
