India history and geography
Source: What is India: Inscriptions of the ŚilāhārasJñānaśiva (ज्ञानशिव) (fl. 1034 A.D.) is mentioned in the “Berlin museum plates of Cittarāja”. Accordingly, “And being desirous of acquiring the spiritual welfare of My parents and Myself, I (Chittarāja)... have given, as a gift free from taxes... to the holy Jñānaśiva, a disciple of the holy Vāḍācārya, who belongs to the Western Āmnāya... the field known as Abhinavadevacchebhā situated in the village of Kunde included in the viṣaya of sixty-six villages called Māhirahāra.”.
These copper plates (mentioning Jñānaśiva) have been lying in the Berlin Museum for a long time. Their original findspot is not known. Its object is to record the grant, by Chittarāja, of a field called Abhinava-deva-ccebhā in the village of Kunde situated in the viṣaya (district) of Māhirahāra containing sixty-six (villages) to the Śaiva ascetic Jñānaśiva, a disciple of the holy Vāḍācārya, who belonged to the Western Āmnāya. The grant is dated as the fourteenth tithi (Śivarātri) of the bright fortnight of the second Caitra in the Śaka year 956, the cyclic year being Bhava.
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.

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.
