India history and geography
Māghanandin is the name of a person mentioned in the “Kolhāpur stone inscription of Vijayāditya”. Accordingly, “The lord Jina, himself the abode of the sentiment of quietism, (is) his god ; the austere Māghanandin, the Saiddhāntika, the Yogin, himself the abode of the virtue of unweariedness, (was) his preceptor ; the lord Kāmadeva, the Sāmanta, (is) ruler (or master) ; —this (is) the excellence, —this (is) the religious merit, —this (is) the advancement of Vasudeva!”
This stone inscription (mentioning Māghanandin) was found on a stone in front of the Jaina temple near the Śukravāra gate of the city of Kolhāpur. It records the grant, made by king Vijayaditya of a field measuring one quarter of a nivartana, and a dwelling house measuring twelve cubits. It is dated in the expired Śaka year 1065, the cyclic year being Dundubhi, on Monday, the full-moon tithi of Māgha, when there was a lunar eclipse.
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.
