India history and geography
Source: Google Books: Early Buddhist Architecture in ContextŚivaskandavarman (शिवस्कन्दवर्मन्).—According to the Mayidavolu copper plates, Śivaskandavarman of the early Pallavas had ruled the Dhaṃñakaṭaka area during the first half of the 4rh century CE. Coastal Andhra between the Krishna and Godavari valleys was occupied by the Śālaṅkāyanas around the same time.
Source: archive.org: The Succssors Of The SatavahanasŚivaskandavarman (शिवस्कन्दवर्मन्).—Pallava headquarters in the Andhra country at the time of Śivaskandavarman, a performer of Aśvamedha andother sacrifices, were at Dhaṃñakaḍa (Dhānyakaṭaka). Their supremacy in Andhradeśa appears to have broken down owing to the rise of the Śāalaṅkāyanas of Veṅgī (W. Godavari district) and the Anandas of Kandarapura (Guntur district).
Source: Early Pallavas: Date of ŚivaskandavarmanŚivaskandavarman (शिवस्कन्दवर्मन्).—Pallava Śivaskandavarman, who was like Cāṃtamūla I a performer of the great Vājapeya and Aśvamedha sacrifices, was preceded in the suzerainty of the Andhrāpatha at least hy his father who must have ruled the country after Ehuvula Cāṃtamūla II. Śivaskandavarman therefore can hardly be placed earlier than A. D. 300. This view, moreover, can be confirmed by an altogether different line of argument.
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.
