India history and geography
Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Indian Epigraphical GlossaryKhola.—(IE 8-3); HD), an official designation of uncertain meaning (Ep. Ind., Vol. IV, pp. 250, 253); probably a kind of messenger. Utpala on the Bṛhatsaṃhitā, 85. 34, explains Dūta as Gamāgamika while some Pāla inscriptions place Khola between the two; probably the same as Preṣaṇika or Dūta- preṣaṇika, a dispatcher of messengers. Note: khola is defined in the “Indian epigraphical glossary” as it can be found on ancient inscriptions commonly written in Sanskrit, Prakrit or Dravidian languages.
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.
