India history and geography
: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Indian Epigraphical GlossaryNetra.鈥�(IE 7-1-2), 鈥榯wo鈥�; in some areas of Eastern India, it was used in the sense of Hara-netra, 鈥榯hree鈥�. The word d峁沰 seems to bear the sense of three in the Pamulavaka plates of Eastern C腻lukya Vijay腻ditya VII (JAHRS, Vol. II, p. 287, text line 67). Note: netra is defined in the 鈥淚ndian epigraphical glossary鈥� as it can be found on ancient inscriptions commonly written in Sanskrit, Prakrit or Dravidian languages.
: Singhi Jain Series: Ratnaprabha-suri鈥檚 Kuvalayamala-katha (history)Netra (啶ㄠ啶む啶�) or 狈别迟谤补辫补峁弓补 refers to a type of figured and coloured silk (cloth), commonly traded with foreign merchants in ancient India, according to Uddyotanas奴ri in his 8th-century Kuvalayam腻l腻 (a Prakrit Camp奴, similar to K腻vya poetry).鈥擜t S奴rp腻raka there was a guild of local merchants. It was their custom to hold a reception in honour of merchants from outside and to learn from them the country of their origin, the destination, field of trade, the nature, value and volume of commodity in which he is interested and all such matters relating to his business. [...] One said: 鈥淚 went to China (Indo-China) and Mah腻c墨na (great Chinese mainland) taking buffaloes and the naval dear and brought from there two kinds of fabrics named 驳补峁単腻辫补峁弓补 and 苍别迟谤补辫补峁弓补鈥� [...]
狈别迟谤补辫补峁弓补 is a colour-silk mentioned for the first time in the Raghuva峁僺a of K腻lid腻sa (7.39). B腻峁嘺 mentions netra about 150 years before Uddyotanas奴ri, and it appears that netra was a special kind of figured and coloured silk which according to 艢a峁僰ara was synonymous with 辫峁涐箙驳补. It is new information that figured Chinese silk was given the new trade name of netra in India (See Har峁carita). Somadevas奴ri (959 A.D.) refers to netra as a superior silken fabric that was in use in the R腻峁ａ弓rak奴峁璦 empire. The Var峁嘺ratn腻kara of Jyotir墨艣vara 峁琱akkura (about 1400 A.D.) mentions two kinds of netra cloth mostly according to their different colours. J腻yas墨 (circa 1528 A.D.) mentions netra as a superior silken fabric used in the royal houses.
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.
