Prabuddha Bharata or Awakened India

1949

It was established by means of the great ancient trade-routes (one very well-known of these ran from the prosperous cities on the lower Ganges via Taxila and the north-west to the marts of central Asia and beyond) and later by the expansion of the Persian political power. [...] The substance of Indian history from the fall of the Mauryas down to the time of the Guptas is formed by foreign incursions and the attempts on the part of indigenous rulers for checking these as well as for restoring the fallen fabric of Mauryan imperialism. [...] It is signficant that the dynasties which sought to retrieve the political disasters of the Maury a rule namely the Sungas the Kanvas and the Satavahanas were all of brhmanical origin and that most of the rulers were ardent worshippers of Krishna. [...] In the confusion and turmoil created by the incursions and the ambitions of rulers the need was felt for the consolidation of gains and compilation of ancient knowledge and codification of rules of social and personal conduct. [...] Prominent among the aoharyas of the period were Udyotakara Shankara the Shaiva teachers of Kashmir of ;whom the most celebrated is Abhinavgupta the Nayanars and the Vitrashaivas in the South.
