India history and geography
Source: Singhi Jain Series: Ratnaprabha-suri’s Kuvalayamala-katha (history)Sajjanapraśaṃsā (सज्जनप्रशंसा) refers to a particular poetic tradition, according to “A Cultural note on the Kuvalayamala of Uddyotanasuri” by the late Dr. V. s. Agrawala.—It was customary with the poets beginning from Kālidāsa, Bāṇa etc. to prefix their narration with an account of durjana-nindā and sajjana-praśaṃsā; and Uddyotanasūri too has done the same at some length. Kālidāsa gives it in the minimum way, while Gosvāmi Tulasīdāsa at much length. Uddyotanasūri gives durjana-nindā in nineteen lines and sajjana-praśaṃsā in fifteen lines. Several of the epithets of this topic were common; so, in that, he has followed a conventional description of varṇaka nature.
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.
