India history and geography
Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Indian Epigraphical GlossaryDharmarājikā.—(IA 14; ML), Buddhist; a stūpa built on the relics of the Buddha called Dharmarāja; a Buddhist stūpa. Note: dharmarājikā is defined in the “Indian epigraphical glossary” as it can be found on ancient inscriptions commonly written in Sanskrit, Prakrit or Dravidian languages.
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.

Dharmarājikā is a Sanskrit compound consisting of the terms dharma and rājikā (राजिका).
Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryDharmarājikā (धर्मराजिका).—once dhārm° (from dharmarājan 1), [Page281-a+ 71] lit. (edifice) which belongs to (serves for relics of) the king of the doctrine (= Buddha); a stūpa. So correctly [Boehtlingk and Roth]; Burnouf Intr. 370 n. 1 and 631 is uncertain; Divyāvadāna Index wrongly royal edict on the law. The meaning seems clear from (caturaśīti-) dharmarājikā-sahasraṃ pratiṣṭhāpayeyam Divyāvadāna 381.14, °sraṃ pratiṣṭhāpitam 18, 23, while in the same passage, describing the same performance, in verse, we read: cakre stūpānāṃ…sāśīti…sahasram 21. To my mind this settles the matter. Other occurrences, always with forms of pratiṣṭhāpayati, establishes, founds: Divyāvadāna 379.22; 381.5; 402.19; 405.15, 16; 419.15; 429.13; 433.27; 434.1; also dhārmarājikā 368.28.

[Sanskrit to German]
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.
