India history and geography
Source: What is India: Inscriptions of the ŚilāhārasSantivira-munindra is the name of an ascetic mentioned in the “Herle stone inscription of Gaṇḍarāditya”. Accordingly, “As if a high-grown branch had sprouted out of the divine tree, there shone the disciple of Bālacandra, the ornament of ascetics, Santivira-munindra, who was good to others and was munificent”
This stone inscription (mentioning Santivira-munindra) was found at Herle, a village, about 11.25 km. west of Hātakaṇangale in the Kolhāpur District. It records the grant of one matter of land in Eḍenāḍa and a garden to the Tīrthaṅkara Chandraprabha in the Basadi. It was made on the occasion of a lunar eclipse in Śaka 1040, when the cyclic year was Vilambi.
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.
