India history and geography
Source: Shodhganga: a concise history of Sanskrit Chanda literature (history)Vṛttavivecana (वृत्तविवेचन) is the name of a work ascribed to Durgāsahāya (C. 1775-1850 C.E.): the son of Vilāsa and grandson of Śrīrāma Miśra. Durgāsahāya was also the father of Kālīsahāya and grandfather of Vṛndāvana. He hailed from Pañcāla (presently Punjab) and belonged to the class of Sārasvata Brahmins, who were resided on the banks of river Sarasvatī.
The work Vṛttavivecana comprises 51 verses, which is indicated by the author himself in the concluding verse of the work. The work illustrates 45 popular metres used in Sanskrit poetry. It is intended to have a hand book on Sanskrit prosody for students. Durgāsahāya does not describe all possible metres like others, but defines only some important metres, which are used frequently in Vṛttavivecana.
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.
