India history and geography
Source: Wisdom Library: India HistoryVijayeśvara (विजयेश्वर) is one of the eight temples located in a space to the north of the village Paṭṭadakal, arrayed in a rectangle of about 180 x 140 m on the western bank of the river. It is now known as Saṃgameśvara.

Source: Archaeological Survey of India: Śaiva monuments at PaṭṭadakalVijayeśvara (Saṃgameśvara) is the name of a temple at Paṭṭadakal in the Karnāṭa-drāviḍa style.—We know from the inscription 28 of Jñānaśivācārya that it was founded by Vijayāditya (696-733): “a great temple of stone has been established by King Vijayāditya holder of such titles;... of this Lord Vijayeśvara...”. That gives the original name of the deity. We do not know when the name Saṃgameśvara came in current usage. That inscription thus gives an indication to the period of construction of the monument, i.e. the reign of Vijayāditya. And it asserts the royal character of the foundation.
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, 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.
