India history and geography
Source: archive.org: Ceylon Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society 1963Parakkamatālaka is the name of an ancient tank that existed in the Polonnaruva (Polonnaruwa) district of Ceylon (Sri Lanka).—There were two other large tanks which bore the king’s name. One was Parakkamatālaka: the scanty information available aboutit does not admit of its identification. The other was Parakkamasāgara or Matisāgara which, like Parakkamasamudda, was filled by the waters of the Kāra-Gaṅgā (Amban-Gaṅga) by means of a canal named Godāvarī. From the Ākāsa-Gaṅga a branch flowed far to the northward and this branch was, in all probability, the Godāvarī canal. Parakkamasagara appears, therefore, to have been a reservoir situated to the north of Polonnaruva, between Parakkamasamudda and the Miṇṇeri Oya.
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.
