India history and geography
: archive.org: Personal and geographical names in the Gupta inscriptionsśٳ (कुशस्थ�) refers to śٳpura.—Smith and identifies śٳpura with the holy city of Dwarka, the capital of Ānartta, i.e. North Gujarat. Monier Williams also indentifies śٳ with the town of Dwarka. The suffix sthala or ٳī is significant: it suggests a high-lying country, an eminence, tableland, or dry-land as opposed to a damp low-land. The Ѳٲ, Harivaṃśa, early Jain and Pali literature use the word in this sense. The Ѳٲ mentions both śٳ as well as Kuśa-ٳī.The latter is supposed to be another name of Dwarka.

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.
