India history and geography
Source: archive.org: Geography in Ancient Indian inscriptionsPādāṇa (पादाण).—Pādāṇīya i.e. an inhabitant of Pādāṇa is mentioned in two Sanchi Stūpa inscriptions. Buhler identified the place Pādāṇa with Parana. Professor Raychaudhuri, however, suggests that Pādāṇa may represent the capital of the Aśmaka country, which was at a place styled Potali, Potana, Podana or Pauḍanya in literature, and which has been identified with Bodhan in Nizamabad district, Andhra Pradesh.
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.
