In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Jayaratha (जयरथ).—A Sanskrit poet who lived in Kāśmīra in the 12th century. He was a Śaivite. His important work is Haracaritacintāmaṇi'. (History of classical Sanskrit literature).
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
India history and geography
Jayaratha (470-550 CE) wrote a commentary on Tantraloka. His father Shringararatha was the minister of Kashmir King Rajaraja. Jayaratha was the younger contemporary of King Rajaraja. If we consider 25 years for each generation, minimum 225 years elapsed from Purnamanoratha which means Jayaratha wrote his work not earlier than 473 CE (248 +225 = 473 CE). Therefore, we can conclude that Jayaratha flourished either at the end of 5th century or in the beginning of 6th century and his lifetime was around 470-550 CE.
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.
