Source: Singhi Jain Series: Ratnaprabha-suri’s Kuvalayamala-katha (history)Shipwrecks were vividly depicted in the Kathās (narrative poems) such as Uddyotanasūri in his 8th-century Kuvalayamālā (a Prakrit Campū, similar to Kāvya poetry).—Page 88.32: Here is a reference to Kuḍaṅga-dvīpa to which had floated three merchants after experiencing shipwreck on return journey from Ratnadvīpa, Suvarṇadvīpa and Laṅkāpurī. It is stated that those merchants mounted a lofty tree and brandished remains of the wrecked boat to attract the attention of the passing ship. It happened that certain merchants noticed their sign and despatched the sailors in a small doṇī to take them.
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.
