India history and geography
Source: What is India: Inscriptions of the ŚilāhārasGovinī (गोविनी) is the name of a river mentioned as lying on the southern boundaries of Aulakīyā, according to the “Ṭhāṇā plates of Arikesarin”.—Aulakīyā consisted of the following boundaries: on the east a tank; on the south Govinī; on the west Carikā; on the north Kalibalāyacholī.
These copper plates (mentioning Govinī) were found in digging for some works at the Fort of Tanna (Ṭhāṇā) the capital of Salset. The object of the present plates was to record the grant, by the Śilāhāra king Arikesarin, of three villages in the Vatsarāja-viṣaya to the family priest and teacher Tikkapaiya on the occasion of a lunar eclipse which occurred on the fifteenth tithi of the bright fortnight of Kārttika in the Śaka year 939.
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.
