India history and geography
Source: archive.org: Ceylon Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society 1963Varārāma is another name for Gavaratissavihāra: an ancient Vihāra that existed near the ancient kingdom of Anurādhapura, Ceylon (Sri Lanka).—Gavaratissa Vihāra, also called Varārāma and Gavaravāla-aṅgaṇa, was founded by Bhātikatissa (143-167). The same king built and donated to this Vihāra, Mahāmaṇi or Gāmaṇi tank. Later, Mahāmaṇi tank, also called Mahamiṇiya, is ascribed to Mahāsena (275-301). Aggabodhi III (628) gave the village Mahāmaṇikagāma to Jetavana Vihāra. The Sīgiri Graffiti mention Mahamiṇiviya. Mahāmaṇi and its variants stand for modern Māmiṇiya, the name of a Korale, village and tank, 3 miles south-east of Maradankaḍavala.
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, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), 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.
