India history and geography
Source: Google Books: Ritual and Knowledge Transmission in the Manuscript Cultures of Premodern IndiaViśveśvaradeva (विश्वेश्वरदेव) is another name for Viśveśvaraśambhu.—In this [Malkāpuram stone pillar] inscription, the Śaiva teacher Viśveśvaraśambhu is confirmed to have been “residing in a vidyāmaṇḍapa” (vidyāmaṇḍapavarttinaṃ). This Viśveśvaraśambhuy—also called Viśveśvaradeśika, Viśveśvaradeva, or Viśveśvaraśiva in the inscription—was “the teacher who imparted initiation on Gaṇapati, lord of the earth”. Viśveśvaraśambhu was, therefore, the king’s chaplain (rājaguru) in the Durvāsas lineage attached to the important Golakīmaṭha. This long record offers a detailed description of an endowment made directly by the Śaiva teacher. It comprises the functions which the Śivadharmottara attributes to the Śaiva hermitage described in the Vidyādānādhyāya as a place for worship, teaching,m and offering material assistance to the ascetics.
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.
