India history and geography
Source: Wikipedia: India HistoryGoggiraja was Shilahara ruler of north Konkan branch from 930 CE – 945 CE. Jhanjha was succeeded by his younger brother Goggiraja, but about him and his successor Vajjada I, Vajjada was followed by his brother Chhadvaideva, who is omitted in all later records, probably because he was an usurper. (Dept. Gazetteer: 2002)
Source: What is India: Inscriptions of the ŚilāhārasGoggirāja (गोग्गिराज) or Goggi of the Śilāhāra line of kings is mentioned in the “Bhadāna grant of Aparājita”. Accordingly, “After Jhañjha, there reigned his brother, the illustrious Goggirāja, the unique treasure of good qualities and jewel-like learned men, who deserved to be honoured and who protected his relatives even as the ocean gave shelter to mountains, who was the treasure of royal fortune, followed the path of king Sagara and was resorted to by (all) creatures. The son of that king was the illustrious king Vajjaḍadeva, whose happy sleep was disturbed by (the lamentations of) the wives of the enemies overpowered and killed by him”.
These copper plates (mentioning Goggirāja) were found in 1881 with the headman of Bhere, a village about ten miles north of Bhivaṇḍī, the chief town of the Bhivaṇḍī tālukā of the Thāṇā District in the Mahārāṣṭra State. The grant was made at Sthānaka on the occasion of the Karkaṭa saṅkrānti (called) Dakṣiṇāyana, which occurred on the fourth tithi of the dark fortnight of Āṣāḍha in the expired Śaka year 919, when the cyclic year was Hemlamba.
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.
