India history and geography
Source: What is India: Inscriptions of the ŚilāhārasVīhaḍa (वीहड) is the name of a scholar mentioned as the donee of a grant in the “Ciñcaṇī plate of the reign of Cittarāja”. Accordingly, “... in favour of the Kautuka-maṭhikā for the burning of a lamp in front of the divine Bhagavatī and for the smearing of the feet of the scholars and of the Brāhmaṇas that may visit (the temple), by pouring out water on the hand of the scholar Vīhaḍa”.
This plate (mentioning Vīhaḍa) was found together with eight others at Chincaṇī in the Ḍahāṇu tāluka of the Ṭhāṇā District, North Koṅkaṇ, in 1955. The object of the inscription is to record the grant, by Cāmuṇḍarāja, of a ghāṇaka (oil-mill) in favour of the temple Kautuka-maṭhikā of the goddess Bhagavatī at Saṃyāna. The gift was made by pouring out water on the hand of the Svādhyāyika (scholar) Vīhaḍa, on the fifteenth tithi of the dark fortnight (i.e. amāvāsyā) of Bhādrapada in the śaka year 956.
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.
