India history and geography
Kalinātha (कलिनाथ) [=bhūcarakalinātha] is the name of a Nātha-Siddha (as well as Rasa‐Siddha), mentioned in the Kalleśvara inscription.—One important piece of epigraphical evidence is from the thirteenth century, namely the Kalleśvara inscription (AD 1279, 21st September, Thursday) from, Jagalur tāluka, Karnataka. This inscription records the donation of a village to a “kula-guru śiva-yogī yogī-cakravartī (world-conquerer)” named Prasādadeva on the occasion of a lunar eclipse (EC 1903: 87,154-5, 232-4). [...] In this inscription, we find what appears to be an enumeration of Prasādadeva’s lineage. The list of Siddhas in the inscription mentions, for example, Bhūcara-Kalinātha, [...]. The Kalleśvara inscription also records that these Siddhas were masters of rasāyana (alchemy) i.e. rasa, rasāyana, ghuṭikāñjana, mukhāñjana. They hold high rank of ‘mahā‐gaṇācāra’ on the earth and had mastered the science of magic, the art of creating illusions, etc.
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.
