India history and geography
Source: What is India: Inscriptions of the ŚilāhārasKiñjala is the name of a village mentioned in the Paṭṭaṇakuḍi plates of Avasara II.—As for Kiñjala, there are three places named Kinjale in the Ratnāgiri District—two in the Kheḍ tālukā, and one in the Saṅgameśvara tālukā, but in the absence of further details such as the boundaries etc. of Kiñjala, it cannot be determined if any of them is identical with it. No name like Pulīsa can now be traced in the Ratnāgiri District.
These copper plates (mentioning Kiñjala) were obtained from Tonappa Parisa Upadhye, the priest of the Jain basti of Paṭṭaṇakudi, who claims that they have been preserved as heirloom in his family. The inscription refers itself to the reign of the Śilāra (i.e. Śilāhāra) king Avasara II, ruling from Balinagara. The inscription is dated in the expired Śaka year 910 (expressed in words), the cyclic year being Sarvadhārin, on Monday, the fifth tithi of the bright fortnight of Kārttika.
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.

[Sanskrit to German]
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.
