India history and geography

Harivarma is the name of an ancient Raja (king of Nepal) from the Somavanshi (=soma-vamshi) dynasty, mentioned in the list of “Rajas of Nepal from the time of Ne Muni”, as extracted from the translation of the Vanshavali or Bansawali (“history and genealogical accounts of Nepal”).—Note: This list has been carefully revised and collated with the original manuscript, and gives the most correct forms of the royal names (e.g., Hari-varma). The reader should compare it with the list in Thomas’s edition of Prinsep’s Essays on Indian Antiquities, Vol. II., pp. 268-271.

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.
