India history and geography
Source: Shodhganga: Ajanta’s antiquityGautamiputra (r. 106-130 CE) or Gautamiputra Śātakarṇi is a king from the Sātavāhana dynasty of ancient India. The Sātavāhana lineage (known as Andhra in the Purāṇas) once ruled much of the Deccan region and several of the Ajantā caves at West-Khandesh (West-Khaṇḍeśa, modern Jalgaon) were carved in the 3rd century BCE when the region was ruled by kings (e.g., Gautamiputra Śātakarṇi) and descendants of the Sātavāhana kings. Gautamiputra Śātakarṇi was preceded by Śivasvāti and succeeded by Pulumāvi III (Vaśiṣṭhiputra).

Such metronymics refer to the absence of gotra-antara (i. e. the change of the bride's paternal gotra to that of her husband at the time of marriage) in a popular form of ancient Indian marriage. Note: gautamī-putra 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.

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.
