India history and geography
Source: What is India: Inscriptions of the ŚilāhārasMāhavala is the name of a village mentioned in the “Mahul stone inscription of Haripāladeva”. The village Māhavala is clearly Māhul in Trombay, where the stone was discovered. Accordingly, “In the village of Māhavala no house-tax shall be charged to the Brāhmaṇas. Three drammas shall be levied as tax per hundred trees of areca-nuts, in the orchards (of the village)”.
This stone inscription (mentioning Māhavala) was found at Māhul near Trombay in 1958. It records the vyavasthā (regulation) laid down by the illustrious Haripāladeva in respect of the village Māhavala included in the viṣaya of Ṣaṭshaṣṭi. It is dated on the lunar eclipse on Sunday, the fifteenth tithi of the bright fortnight of Āṣāḍha in the Śaka year 1075, the cyclic year being Śrīmukha.
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.
