India history and geography
: Singhi Jain Series: Ratnaprabha-suri鈥檚 Kuvalayamala-katha (history)峁岣峚艣补惫补谤峁嘺 (啶粪啶∴ざ啶掂ぐ啷嵿ぃ) refers to 鈥渟ixteen degree gold鈥�, according to the M膩nasoll膩sa, as mentioned in the 鈥�A Cultural note on the Kuvalayamala of Uddyotanasuri鈥� by the late Dr. V. s. Agrawala.鈥�(Cf. 闯补肠肠补蝉耻惫补峁囜箛补) In the pre-Muslim period, the highest purity was of sixteen degree, and such gold was called 峁岣峚艣补-惫补谤峁嘺办补 (K膩vyam墨m膩峁僺膩 of R膩ja艣ekhara, Saka 1900, chapter 17) which must have been the 箩补肠肠补-蝉耻惫补峁囜箛补 of Uddyotanas奴ri. We also find reference to 峁岣峚艣补惫补谤峁嘺 gold in the M膩nasoll膩sa from which was derived the Hindi word 蝉辞濒补丑补-惫腻苍墨 which in Rajasthani became solamo-sono referred to as solen in the J帽膩ne艣var墨 (1290 A.D.).鈥�(Cf. The highest purity of gold in India, The Journal of the Numesmatic Society of India, Vol. 16, pp. 270-74). This seems same as the 艣峁涐箙驳墨-办补苍补办补 mentioned in the K膩dambar墨.
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.
