India history and geography
Source: Ancient Buddhist Texts: Geography of Early BuddhismMānusiya (मानुसिय) is the name of a lake situated in Majjhimadesa (Middle Country) of ancient India, as recorded in the Pāli Buddhist texts (detailing the geography of ancient India as it was known in to Early Buddhism).—Mānusiya is a lotus lake near the city of Sakula in the kingdom of Manusiya Mahiṃsaka (cf. Cullahaṃsa Jātaka) which, however, is difficult to be identified.
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.
