India history and geography
Source: archive.org: Personal and geographical names in the Gupta inscriptionsViṣṇugopa (विष्णुगोप) is an example of a Vaiṣṇavite name mentioned in the Gupta inscriptions. Classification of personal names according to deities (e.g., from Vaiṣṇavism) were sometimes used by more than one person and somehow seem to have been popular. The Gupta empire (r. 3rd-century CE), founded by Śrī Gupta, covered much of ancient India and embraced the Dharmic religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. Derivation of personal names (e.g., Viṣṇugopa) during the rule of the Guptas followed patterns such as tribes, places, rivers and mountains.
Source: What is India: Inscriptions of the Early Gupta KingsViṣṇugopa (विष्णुगोप).—The Pallava king of Kāñcī. It seems that Viṣṇugōpa was the overload and that the rulers of Avamukta, Veṅgī, Pālakka, Devarāṣṭra and Kusthalapura were his feudatories in this descending order.
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.
