India history and geography
Source: Shodhganga: a concise history of Sanskrit Chanda literature (history)Devakīnandana (देवकीनन्दन) is the father of Jānakīnandana who was the patron of Kṛṣṇadeva Tripāṭhin (1822 C.E.): the eldest son of Jayagopāla was an authority on chandas of his period. Kṛṣṇadeva belongs to the Śāṇḍilyagotra. He was patronized by Jānakīnandana, son of Devakīnandana at whose instance he composed Chandaḥprastārasāraṇī. He mentions about his patrons in the colophon of the work and his family. He does not attribute his scholarship to others, but says that the purpose of composing this work was to please the learned scholars and it is his own creation.
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.
