India history and geography
Source: Jainworld: Jain History (h)Stambhatīrtha (स्तम्भतीर्थ) is another name for Stambhapura: the great Tīrtha now known as Khambhat Cambay, which is of the medieval period... A manuscript of the original Bhagavatī, which was copied at Stambhatīrtha between V.S. 1110 and 1119, is probably the earliest Jaina work to refer to this holy place. This shows that even in Abhayadeva’s life time, it was recognised as a Tīrtha. Hundreds of Jaina manuscripts were afterwards copied here and other temples were also built in this place.
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.
