Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
: archive.org: Puranic Encyclopediaٲṣiṇañ (दक्षिणपाञ्चा�).—A place famous in the Purāṇas. This place lies to the south of the Ganges up to the river Caṃpat. It is mentioned in Mahābhārata Sabhā Parva, Chapter 14, Stanza 27, that the King of this country fled to the south fearing Jarāsandha. Pāñcāla lies to the south and north of the Ganges. But the country was divided into two when Droṇa defeated Drupada the King of Pāñcāla, and took away from him the part of the country north of the Ganges. After that, the part taken by Droṇa was called Uttarapāñcāla and the part south of the Ganges was called ٲṣiṇañ. (Mahābhārata Ādi Parva, Chapter 137).

The Purana (पुरा�, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
India history and geography
: Ancient Buddhist Texts: Geography of Early Buddhismٲṣiṇa貹ñ (दक्षिणपञ्चाल) or “Souther Pancala� refers to one of the two divisions of ancient ʲñ: one of the sixteen Mahājanapadas of the Majjhimadesa (Middle Country) of ancient India, as recorded in the Pāli Buddhist texts (detailing the geography of ancient India as it was known in to Early Buddhism).—Like the Kuru country, the ʲñ country too, which, by the way, is also mentioned in the Aṅguttara Nikāya as one of the sixteen Mahājanapadas of Jambudīpa, was divided into two divisions: the northern or Uttarā ʲñ and the southern or Dakṣiṇa ʲñ, the Bhagirathi forming the dividing line. In the Divyāvadāna we read of two ʲñvishayas: Uttarā ʲñ and Dakṣiṇa ʲñ. The Jātakas as well as the Mahābhārata also refer to these two divisions of the country.

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 संस्कृतम� (ṃsṛt), 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.
