India history and geography
Source: archive.org: Vagbhata’s Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (history)Peking, the capital of China, has been the place of issue of several Kanjur editions conveniently named after the emperors on whose direction they were published. The earliest among these is the Yung-lo edition completed in 1410, which is said to be a true copy of the old Narthang edition released under Buyantu Khan (1312-20) (’Jigs-med p. 105), and which, incidentally, appears to have been the prototype of the Berlin manuscript. Next came a reprint of the Yung-lo edition, made from 1602 to 1605 and called the Wan-li edition. Scarcely a century afterwards, between 1683 and 1700, another reprint was undertaken, known as the K’ang-hsi or first palace edition. Some forty years later, in 1737, a thoroughly revised and partly enlarged version of it came out, the Ch‘ien-lung or second palace edition, which derives from the redaction of the fifth Dalai Lama (1617-82) and passes for the Peking edition par excellence. In contrast to this, the Tanjur seems to have been issued only once, and that probably after 1742.
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.
