Tauṣī—Prof. Bühler regards Tauṣī as the ancient form of the term Tohī used for several mountain streams joining the Vitastā and the Candrabhāgā from the south slopes of the Pīr Pañcāl range. Tauṣī of the Rājata. VII.53 is identified with the Tohī of Puñcha. Two Tohīs one in the province of Jammu and other in Naushera, are tributaries of the Cinab. The Tohī mentioned in the Nīlamata seems to be the Tohī of Jammu province which takes rise immediately above Sudha Mahādeva and enters into the Cinab near Sialkot.
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.

The earliest extant texts can be dated to as early as the 4th century BCE although core portions might be older.
