India history and geography
Source: What is India: Inscriptions of the ŚilāhārasGovoma is the name of a village mentioned in the “Balipattana plates of Raṭṭarāja”. Accordingly, “... the well-known boundaries of the orchard being as follows—on the east, a stone temple; on the south the river ; on the west, the sea near Voribhāṭhā; on the north, (the village) Govoma....”.
These copper plates (mentioning Govoma) were in the possession of Prof. S. R. Bhandarkar and was issued from Balipattana (the capital of Raṭṭarāja). It records certain gifts made by Raṭṭarāja to Saṅkamaiya, son of the Brāhmaṇa Nāgamaiya. It is dated in the Śaka year 932 on the occasion of the Uttarāyaṇa Saṅkrānti, which fell on Sunday, the 1st tithi of the dark fortnight of Puṣya (i.e. Pauṣa), the cyclic year being Sādhāraṇa.
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.
