India history and geography
Source: archive.org: Personal and geographical names in the Gupta inscriptionsMūla-nāgiraṭṭa (मूल-नागिरट्ट) is place name ending in Rāṣṭra mentioned in the Gupta inscriptions. 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.
Mūla-Nāgiraṭṭa of the inscription mentions a maṇḍala (sub-division) called Nāgiraṭṭa (Nāgiraṭṭa-māṇḍalika) and later on refers to Mūla-Nāgiraṭṭa which seems to have been the headquarters of this maṇḍala. It is clear from the inscription itself that Mūla-Nāgiraṭṭa was situated in the neighbourhood of Nitva-Gohālī. Mūla-Nāgiraṭṭa literally means ‘Nāgiraṭṭa Proper’. The word Nāgiraṭṭa is the Prakritic form of Nāgarāṣṭra meaning ‘acountry of the Nāgas’.
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.
