In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
: archive.org: Puranic Encyclopediaվṣṇś (विष्णुशर्म�).—See under Śivaśarmā.

The Purana (पुरा�, purāṇas) 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.
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram1) վṣṇś (विष्णुशर्म�) is the birth-name of Ҳḍīśa𱹲: one of the Nine Nāthas according to the Kubjikānityāhnikatilaka: a derative text drawing from Tantras and other sources such as the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā.—The Nine Nāthas propagated the Western Transmission noted in the Kubjikā Tantras. Although each Siddha has a consort with which he shares some part of his spiritual discipline, she is not considered to be his wife. Thus, from the perspective of his identity as an initiate, he is not a householder.—վṣṇś� is the name at birth (i.e., the original names of the Siddhas) of Ҳḍīśa𱹲. Alternatively, according to the Kulakaulinīmata, his birth-name is Mātaṅgadeva and his father is Kāñcideva.
Note: վṣṇś was called Indrānandadeva because he graced Indra. He was called Matsyendranātha because he was dragged up in the Markaṭa river.
2) վṣṇś (विष्णुशर्म�) is also mentioned as the birth-name [or father] of Gulmadeva—one of the Sixteen Siddhas according to the Kubjikānityāhnikatilaka.—These sixteen spiritual teachers represent the disciples of the Nine Nāthas who propagated the Western Transmission noted in the Kubjikā Tantras.—Gulmadeva is the Caryā name of this Nātha (i.e., the public name the Siddha uses when living as a wandering renouncer). His birth-name is վṣṇś (alternatively, his birth-name is Mādhava and his father is վṣṇś according to the Kulakaulinīmata);
Note: վṣṇś was called Mālādharadeva because he miraculously hung a garland of flowers () in the sky.

Shakta (शाक्�, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.
India history and geography
: Notices of Sanskrit Manuscripts, volume 3, part 1: Saduktikarnamritaվṣṇś (विष्णुशर्म�) is the name of a Poet mentioned in the 13th century Saduktikarṇāmrita by Śrīdhara Dāsa (son of Vaṭu Dāsa) who was a chief over several districts (called a 峾ṇḍ첹).—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, վṣṇś) 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.

[Sanskrit to German]
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.
