Source: What is India: Inscriptions of the ŚilāhārasGovindanāyaka (fl. 1240 A.D.) is the name of a Brāhmaṇa mentioned in the “Caudharapāḍā stone inscription of Keśideva II”.
This inscription (mentioning Govindanāyaka) was found on the outskirts of the village Caudharapāḍā, near Lonāḍ in the Bhivaṇḍī-tālukā of the Ṭhāṇā District. It records the donation of Brahmapurī to various Brāhmaṇas and also a donation for the maintenance of the worshippers of the god Śiva. It is dated Śaka 1161, or tuesday, the 24th January A.D. 1240.
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.
