India history and geography
Śivagaṅgā (शिवगङ्गा) or Sāvaṇadurga is the name of a village in Karṇāṭaka to which Puṇḍarīkaviṭṭhala (16th century) was a native. Puṇḍarīkaviṭṭhala is a well known scholar in music as well as in Dharmaśāstra, Alaṅkāraśāstra and chandas. His erudite scholarship has touched the height of excellence, which can be judged only from his compositions. He belonged to Jāmadagnya-gotra and was the son of Dharma and Nāgā, native of Sāvaṇadurga (Śivagaṅgā) in Karṇāṭaka; migrated to north India. He was patronized by Burhānkhān of Ānandavallī, King Bhagavantadāsa and his son Mādhavasiṃha and Mānasiṃha.
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, 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.
