On hearing of this, the general public will smile in derision. O lord of mountains, see for yourself. He has not a single kinsman. You are the storehouse of great gems and jewels (³¾²¹³óÄå-°ù²¹³Ù²ÔÄå°ì²¹°ù²¹). He has no assets at all. O lord of mountains, you shall consult your kinsmen, sons, wife and wise counsellors, except PÄårvatÄ«. O lord of mountains, the medicine does not appeal at all to the patient. Wrong diet that brings about great defects always appeals to himâ€�.

The Purana (पà¥à¤°à¤¾à¤�, purÄåṇas) 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.
Chandas (prosody, study of Sanskrit metres)

The ³§³Ü±¹á¹›t³Ù²¹³Ù¾±±ô²¹°ì²¹ is a monumental work of Sanskrit prosody in which the author discusses 27 popular metres which were used frequently by the poets (e.g., ¸é²¹³Ù²ÔÄå°ì²¹°ù²¹).

Chandas (छनà¥à¤¦à¤¸à¥) refers to Sanskrit prosody and represents one of the six Vedangas (auxiliary disciplines belonging to the study of the Vedas). The science of prosody (chandas-shastra) focusses on the study of the poetic meters such as the commonly known twenty-six metres mentioned by Pingalas.
Kavya (poetry)
Source: Wisdom Library: KathÄåsaritsÄågara1) ¸é²¹³Ù²ÔÄå°ì²¹°ù²¹ (रतà¥à¤¨à¤¾à¤•à¤�) is the name of an ancient city, according to the KathÄåsaritsÄågara, chapter 58. Accordingly, as Pulastya said in his hermitage: â€�... there lived in the city of ¸é²¹³Ù²ÔÄå°ì²¹°ù²¹ a king named Jyotiá¹£prabha, who ruled the earth with supreme authority, as far as the sea, the mine of jewels. There was born to him, by his queen named Hará¹£avatÄ«, a son, whose birth was due to the favour of Åšiva propitiated by severe asceticismâ€�.
2) ¸é²¹³Ù²ÔÄå°ì²¹°ù²¹ (रतà¥à¤¨à¤¾à¤•à¤�) is the name of a horse, according to the KathÄåsaritsÄågara, chapter 123. Accordingly, â€�... and when he saw that wonderful boar, he came to the conclusion that some being had assumed that form with an object, and he ascended his horse called ¸é²¹³Ù²ÔÄå°ì²¹°ù²¹, the progeny of Ucchaiḥśravasâ€�.
The KathÄåsaritsÄågara (‘ocean of streams of storyâ€�), mentioning ¸é²¹³Ù²ÔÄå°ì²¹°ù²¹, is a famous Sanskrit epic story revolving around prince NaravÄåhanadatta and his quest to become the emperor of the ±¹¾±»å²âÄå»å³ó²¹°ù²¹²õ (celestial beings). The work is said to have been an adaptation of GuṇÄåá¸hya’s Bá¹›hatkathÄå consisting of 100,000 verses, which in turn is part of a larger work containing 700,000 verses.

Kavya (कावà¥à¤�, kavya) refers to Sanskrit poetry, a popular ancient Indian tradition of literature. There have been many Sanskrit poets over the ages, hailing from ancient India and beyond. This topic includes mahakavya, or ‘epic poetryâ€� and natya, or ‘dramatic poetryâ€�.
Yoga (school of philosophy)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch¸é²¹³Ù²ÔÄå°ì²¹°ù²¹ (रतà¥à¤¨à¤¾à¤•à¤�) is the author of the Harivijaya.—The compound amanaskayoga is found in RÄåjÄånaka ¸é²¹³Ù²ÔÄå°ì²¹°ù²¹â€™s Haravijaya. This poet, who lived in Kashmir in the first half of the ninth century, wrote a hymn (stotra) to Åšiva which is the sixth chapter (sarga) of the Haravijaya. The hymn praises Åšiva in the terms of every soteriological system known to the poet, so it is possible that he saw the term amanaska in one of the SaiddhÄåntika sources.

Yoga is originally considered a branch of Hindu philosophy (astika), but both ancient and modern Yoga combine the physical, mental and spiritual. Yoga teaches various physical techniques also known as Äåsanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).
In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita Sastra1) ¸é²¹³Ù²ÔÄå°ì²¹°ù²¹ (रतà¥à¤¨à¤¾à¤•à¤�) is one of the Bodhisattvas accompanying the Buddha at ¸éÄåÂá²¹²µá¹›h²¹ on the ³Òá¹›d³ó°ù²¹°ìÅ«á¹a±è²¹°ù±¹²¹³Ù²¹, mentioned in a list of twenty-two in to MahÄåprajñÄåpÄåramitÄåÅ›Äåstra chapter 13.—They were at the head of countless thousands of °ì´Çá¹i²Ô²¹²â³Ü³Ù²¹ of Bodhisattva-mahÄåsattvas who were all still awaiting succession and will still accede to Buddhahood. He is also known as La na kie lo or Pai tsi.
¸é²¹³Ù²ÔÄå°ì²¹°ù²¹ is one of the sixteen classified as a lay (²µá¹›h²¹²õ³Ù³ó²¹) Bodhisattva: ¸é²¹³Ù²ÔÄå°ì²¹°ù²¹, a young prince (°ì³Ü³¾Äå°ù²¹), lives in VaiÅ›ÄålÄ«.
2) ¸é²¹³Ù²ÔÄå°ì²¹°ù²¹ (रतà¥à¤¨à¤¾à¤•à¤�) is the name of the Buddha presiding over the RatnÄåvatÄ« universe according to the 2nd century MahÄåprajñÄåpÄåramitÄåÅ›Äåstra (chapter XV).—Accordingly, “Then in the east, beyond universes as numerous as the sands of the Ganges and at the limit of these universes, there is a universe called To pao (RatnÄåvatÄ«) where there is a Buddha called Pao tse (¸é²¹³Ù²ÔÄå°ì²¹°ù²¹) who is now teaching the PrajñÄåpÄåramitÄå to the Bodhisattva-mahÄåsattvasâ€�.
There is a Buddha there called ¸é²¹³Ù²ÔÄå°ì²¹°ù²¹ (“jewel mineâ€�). He is so called because he includes the pure faculties, the powers (bala), the path of bodhi and the other jewels of the Dharma (dharmaratna). Question—If that is so, all the Buddhas should be called ¸é²¹³Ù²ÔÄå°ì²¹°ù²¹. Why reserve the name ¸é²¹³Ù²ÔÄå°ì²¹°ù²¹ for this Buddha alone? Answer—All the Buddhas have these jewels, but this Buddha is the only one to take his name from them. In the same way, Mi lö (Maitreya) is called “loving-kindnessâ€� (maitreya) although all the Buddhas have the same loving-kindness (³¾²¹¾±³Ù°ùÄ«), but Maitreya is the only one to have this as his name.
: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the Gaganagañjaparipá¹›cchÄå¸é²¹³Ù²ÔÄå°ì²¹°ù²¹ (रतà¥à¤¨à¤¾à¤•à¤�) is the name of a Bodhisattva, according to the Gaganagañjaparipá¹›cchÄå: the eighth chapter of the MahÄåsaṃnipÄåta (a collection of MahÄåyÄåna Buddhist SÅ«tras).—Accordingly, “Then the Bodhisattva Gaganagañja said this to the congregation of Bodhisattvas: ‘Sons of good family, may all of you elucidate the gates into the dharma of transcending the path of the works of MÄåraâ€� [...] The Bodhisattva ¸é²¹³Ù²ÔÄå°ì²¹°ù²¹ said: ‘Happiness is a latent tendency; unhappiness is an obstruction. One who is without happiness or unhappiness does not have any affection or hostility. One who is without affection or hostility is established in sameness. One who is established in sameness does not differentiate any dharma. One who is established in the absence of differentiation does not think about sameness or non-sameness. When you obtain this inconceivable dharma, the mÄåra cannot find your weak point’â€�.

Mahayana (महायान, mahÄåyÄåna) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many ²õÅ«³Ù°ù²¹²õ of which some of the earliest are the various PrajñÄåpÄåramitÄå ²õÅ«³Ù°ù²¹²õ.
In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: archive.org: Trisastisalakapurusacaritra1) ¸é²¹³Ù²ÔÄå°ì²¹°ù²¹ (रतà¥à¤¨à¤¾à¤•à¤�) refers to the “oceanâ€�, according to chapter 2.2 [²¹Âá¾±³Ù²¹²ÔÄå³Ù³ó²¹-³¦²¹°ù¾±³Ù°ù²¹] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triá¹£aá¹£á¹iÅ›alÄåkÄåpuruá¹£acaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.
Accordingly, as the DikkumÄårikÄås said to Jinendra and the Jina’s mother: “Hail! Long live! Rejoice, you whose son is for the delight of the world. O Mother of the World, this is a fortunate moment for us to-day because of the sight of you. The ocean (¸é²¹³Ù²ÔÄå°ì²¹°ù²¹), RatnaÅ›aila (mountain of jewels), and the earth (RatnagarbhÄå)—these are useless. You alone are the source of jewels, since you have borne this jewel of a son. We DikkumÄårikÄås, living in the center of Rucaka, have come here to perform the Arhat’s birth-ceremonies. You must not be afraidâ€�.
2) ¸é²¹³Ù²ÔÄå°ì²¹°ù²¹ (रतà¥à¤¨à¤¾à¤•à¤�) is the name of an ancient king from ¸é²¹³Ù²ÔÄå°ì²¹°ù²¹, according to chapter 6.2 [²¹°ù²¹²ÔÄå³Ù³ó²¹-³¦²¹°ù¾±³Ù°ù²¹]. Accordingly, as SÄågaradatta said to Kumbha:—“[...]. One day VÄ«rabhadra went in his wandering to the city Ratnapura, ruled over by King ¸é²¹³Ù²ÔÄå°ì²¹°ù²¹, in SiṃhaladvÄ«pa. He sat down in the shop of Sheth Åšaá¹…kha, who had a wealth of virtues fair as a conch, and was asked, ‘Where are you from, sir?â€� VÄ«rabhadra replied, ‘I left my own home in TÄåmralipti in anger and came here in the course of wandering, father.â€� [...]â€�.

Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
India history and geography
: academia.edu: The Yona or Yavana Kings of the time of the Legendary King AshokaPandit Ratnakara lived much later than Kalhana and probably wrote the history of Kashmir from 449 CE. The work of Ratnakara contained a list of 35 unknown kings and also 7 unknown kings who ruled over Kashmir. It is unbelievable that Kalhana was unaware of the Rajatarangini of Ratnakara (if it was written prior to Kalhana) as claimed by some historians. Ratnakara wrote the history of Kashmir after 449 CE but unfortunately no manuscript is available today.
: What is India: Epigraphia Indica volume XXXI (1955-56)¸é²¹³Ù²ÔÄå°ì²¹°ù²¹ is one of the BrÄåhmaṇa donees mentioned in the “Asankhali plates of Narasiṃha IIâ€� (1302 A.D.). When a grant was made to a large number of BrÄåhmaṇas, the chief amongst the donees seems to have been called PÄånÄ«yagrÄåhin especially. In the present record, though all the donees (e.g., ¸é²¹³Ù²ÔÄå°ì²¹°ù²¹) are referred to as PÄåṇigrÄåhi-mahÄåjana, their list is headed by a BrÄåhmaṇa with PÄåṇigrahÄ« as his surname.
These copper plates (mentioning ¸é²¹³Ù²ÔÄå°ì²¹°ù²¹) were discovered from the house of a Santal inhabitant of Pargana Asankhali in the Mayurbhanj State (Orissa). It was made when king VÄ«ra-Narasiṃhadeva was staying at the Bhairavapura-kaá¹aka (city, camp or residence).
: Notices of Sanskrit Manuscripts, volume 3, part 1: SaduktikarnamritaRatnÄåkÄåra (रतà¥à¤¨à¤¾à¤•ार) is the name of a Poet mentioned in the 13th century SaduktikarṇÄåmrita by ÅšrÄ«dhara DÄåsa (son of Vaá¹u DÄåsa) who was a chief over several districts (called a ³¾²¹³óÄå³¾²¹á¹‡á¸²¹±ô¾±°ì²¹).—The Sadukti-Karnamrita is a collection of miscellaneous verses by different authors and on various subjects, five verses being devoted to each subject. There are 446 poets identified (for example, RatnÄåkÄåra) some of which in the feminine gender (intended for females) while others are of Buddhist monks etc.

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.
