India history and geography
Source: OpenEdition books: Vividhatīrthakalpaḥ (History)Dāyika (दायिक) possibly refers to the Prakrit Dāia which refers to an ancient people, as is mentioned in the Vividhatīrthakalpa by Jinaprabhasūri (13th century A.D.): an ancient text devoted to various Jaina holy places (tīrthas).—Accordingly, “the Dāia killed the king of Maṃḍovara (Mandor)”.
Note: Dāia is possibly the Prakrite (sk. Dāyika) transcription of the word tajik meaning Arabic. Several inscriptions attest indeed an Arab raid in the second quarter of the 8th century. cf. Nausarī flat of the Gujarāt Calukyas Pulakeśirāja, dating from 738 (TVOC, Arian, p 231 and EI XVIII p 93;.. “Gwalior prasasti of Bhoja” dating from the 9th... S (EI XVIII p 101) "It seems probable that the Arab invasions of the “Nausārī plates” were those of the officers of Junaid, general of Khalif Hasham (724-743): EI XVIII p. 93.
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.

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.
