India history and geography
Source: archive.org: Personal and geographical names in the Gupta inscriptionsKṛṣṇadatta (कृष्णदत्त) is an example of a Vaiṣṇavite name mentioned in the Gupta inscriptions. Classification of personal names according to deities (e.g., from Vaiṣṇavism) were sometimes used by more than one person and somehow seem to have been popular. The Gupta empire (r. 3rd-century CE), founded by Śrī Gupta, covered much of ancient India and embraced the Dharmic religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. Derivation of personal names (e.g., Kṛṣṇadatta) during the rule of the Guptas followed patterns such as tribes, places, rivers and mountains.
Source: What is India: Epigraphia Indica volume XXXI (1955-56)Kṛṣṇadatta is the name of an ancient king mentioned in the “Pedda-Dugam plates of Śatrudamana” (5th century A. D.). The name of Vaidya Kṛṣṇadatta, who was the dūta or executor of the grant, occurs in line 24 with which the document ends.
These plates (mentioning Kṛṣṇadatta) were discovered in the course of digging the earth for the foundation of a house at the village of Pedda-Dugam in the Narasannapet Taluk of the Srikakulam District, Andhra State. It was issued to the villagers headed by Brāhmaṇas and others, residing at the three localities called Duhāgrāma, Vasuvāṭaka and Govāṭaka.
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.
