India history and geography
Source: Shodhganga: Ajanta’s antiquityŚātakarṇi I (r. 187-177 BCE) is a king from the Sātavāhana dynasty of ancient India. The Sātavāhana lineage (known as Andhra in the Purāṇas) once ruled much of the Deccan region and several of the Ajantā caves at West-Khandesh (West-Khaṇḍeśa, modern Jalgaon) were carved in the 3rd century BCE when the region was ruled by kings (e.g., Śātakarṇi) and descendants of the Sātavāhana kings. Śātakarṇi I was preceded by Kṛṣṇa and succeeded by Purṇotsaṅga.
Śātakarṇi II reigned 141-85 BCE, was preceded by Skandastambhi and succeeded by Lambodara.
Śātakarṇi III reigned 1 BCE-0 CE, was preceded by Kuntala Śātakarṇi and succeeded by Pulumāvi I.
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.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
