India history and geography
Source: archive.org: Personal and geographical names in the Gupta inscriptionsKumāradevī (कुमारदेवी) is an example of a Śaivite name mentioned in the Gupta inscriptions. Classification of personal names according to deities (e.g., from Śaivism) 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., Kumāradevī) during the rule of the Guptas followed patterns such as tribes, places, rivers and mountains.
Source: What is India: Inscriptions of the Early Gupta KingsKumāradevī (कुमारदेवी).—It is not very difficult to surmise how Candragupta rose to power. It was doubtless through his marriage with the Licchavi princess, Mahādevī Kumāradevī. Their son, Samudragupta, in his Allahabad pillar inscription, calls himself with pride Licchavi-dauhitra, “the daughter’s son of the Licchavi (King).” The same epithet has been applied to him by his successor in their records.
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.
