India history and geography
Miti (in the Parbatiya language) translates to “Date” (in English); as mentioned in the appendix of the translation of the Vanshavali or Bansawali (“history and genealogical accounts of Nepal”). The Parbatiya word ‘Miti’ is known in the Newari language as Tithi.
Miti.—(IA 20), cf. Saṃvat 1384 miti Bhādra-vadi 3 Guru-dine; probably a corruption of Sanskrit mita, ‘counted’, ‘calculated’. Note: miti is defined in the “Indian epigraphical glossary” as it can be found on ancient inscriptions commonly written in Sanskrit, Prakrit or Dravidian languages.
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.
