India history and geography
: archive.org: Personal and geographical names in the Gupta inscriptions碍耻艣补蝉迟丑补濒墨 (啶曕啶多じ啷嵿ぅ啶侧) refers to Dwarka and is identified with Kusthalapura (of Gupta inscription 1) according to Raj Bali. This 碍耻艣补蝉迟丑补濒墨 is not situated in Gujarat but presumably onthe eastern spurs of the Vindhya range near Daksi峁嘺kosala. It was the capital of Ku艣a, son of R膩macandra. But its position in the list of the States of Dak峁峁嚹乸atha indicates a place a little more to the south. By the process of Haplology, 碍耻艣补蝉迟丑补濒补pura is simplified into Kusthalapura which may be changed to 碍耻艣补蝉迟丑补濒墨 or Ku艣膩vat墨 in short.
The suffix sthala or 蝉迟丑补濒墨 is significant: it suggests a high-lying country, an eminence, tableland, or dry-land as opposed to a damp low-land. The Mah膩bh膩rata, Hariva峁兣沘, early Jain and Pali literature use the word in this sense. The Mah膩bh膩rata mentions both 碍耻艣补蝉迟丑补濒补 as well as Ku艣a-蝉迟丑补濒墨.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.
