India history and geography
Source: What is India: Inscriptions of the ŚilāhārasVappuvana (वप्पुवन) is the name of king from the Śīlāra dynasty mentioned in the “Prince of Wales museum plates of Chadvaideva”.—Accordingly, “After Kapardin (II) was Vappuvana of unmeasured prowess, who ruled over the circle of the earth. From him was (born) Jhañjha, who is constantly praised throughout the world, being endowed with all multitudes of merits. He, like Indra, became well known on account of his military qualities”.
These copper plates (mentioning Vappuvana) were in the collection of George Da Gunha and was purchased by the Trustees of the Prince of Wales Museum, Bombay, in 1919. The inscription refers itself to the reign of the Śīlāra (i.e. Śilāhāra) Mahāsāmanta Chadvaideva of North Koṅkaṇ. The object of it is to record that Chadvaideva executed the grant which had been made by Vajjaḍadeva, the son of Goggi, who, as shown below, was Chadvaideva’s elder brother and predecessor on the throne.
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.
