India history and geography
1) Śivaśataka (शिवशतक) is the name of a work ascribed to Gokunātha Upādhyāya (C. 1650-1740 C.E.), son of Pītāmbara Upādhyāya, who was exponent on Navya Nyāya system on Indian Philosophy and well-versed in Tantrasāra. Some of Gokulanātha’s verses are mentioned in Vidyākarasahasraka (pp. 92-93).
2) Śivaśataka (शिवशतक) is the name of a work ascribed to Rāmapāṇivāda (18th Century): a scholar of multi discipline, who flourished in Kerala in the 18th Century. He was a prolific writer both in Sanskrit and Prakrit. Also see the “New Catalogus Catalogorum” XXIV. pp. 173-74.
Śivaśataka (शिवशतक) (in 100 ślokas) is the name of a topic of the stotra-grantha-mālā-division of the collected works of Vasishtha Kavyakantha Ganapati Muni (1878 -1936), according to the essay written by Dr. Sampadananda Mishra (सम्पदानन्दमिश्रः / ସମ୍ପଦାନନ୍ଦ ମିଶ୍ର).—Ganapati Muni (also known as Ayyala Somayajulu Ganapathi Sastry) was a disciple of Ramana Maharshi (இரமண மகரிசி)—an Indian Hindu sage from the 19th century. He was born into a family well-known for its traditional learning and worship of the Divine as Mother (Sri Vidya / Shaktism). His teachings were collected by his disciple, Srivatsa-Natesan, and kept there. Highlighting various categories and topics [e.g., śivaśataka] [=śivaśatakam], Dr. Sampadananda Mishra has edited and divided the entire literary storehouse of the sage in his essay called—“vāsiṣṭhagaṇapatimuneḥ sāhityam” (वासिष्ठगणपतिमुनेः साहित्यम्).
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.
