India history and geography
Eḍūka.—cf. eḍuo (CII 2-1), supposed to be ‘a wall into which bones (meaning planks and other hard substances) have been inserted in order to strengthen the structure’, because it is explained in a commentary as asthy-aṅkita kuḍya; but asthy- aṅkita-kuḍya seems to mean a Buddhist stūpa raised on cor- poreal relics which were an object of worship. Although the word kuḍya is reckoned in the lexicons in the sense of a wall, it seems to mean ‘a mound’ in this case. The word aidūka derived from eḍūka is used in Buddhist Sanskrit in the sense of a Buddhist stūpa. See IHQ, Vol. XXIX, pp. 302-03. Note: eḍūka 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.
