For example, at Madanpur there is a Sanskrit inscription which is issued from Vikramapura. It records a grant of rent-free land in Vaṅgasāgara-saṃbhāṇḍāriyaka in Yolā-maṇḍala situated in Puṇḍrabhukti to a Brāhmaṇa named Śukradeva, made by the king in the name of Buddhabhaṭṭāraka.
This inscription in characters of about the 10th century A.D. belongs to king Śricandra of the Chandra dynasty.
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.
