  • Muvendar:
    • Sangam poems mention the muvendar.
    • This is a Tamil word meaning three chiefs, used for the heads of three ruling families, the Cholas, Cheras, and Pandyas who became powerful in south India around 2300 years ago.
  •  Xuan Zang (Chinese Buddhist pilgrims) 
    • Xuan Zang came around 1400 years ago and I-Qing came about 50 years after Xuan Zang.
    • They came to visit places associated with the life of the Buddha as well as famous monasteries.
  • Ashvaghosha:
    • Ashvaghosha, a poet who composed a biography of the Buddha, the Buddhacharita, lived in his court.
    • Ashvaghosha and other Buddhist scholars now began writing in Sanskrit.
  • Mahayana:
    • A new form of Buddhism, known as Mahayana Buddhism, now developed.
    • This had two distinct features. Earlier, the Buddha’s presence was shown in sculpture by using certain signs. For instance, his attainment of enlightenment was shown by sculptures of the peepal tree.
    • Now, statues of the Buddha were made. Many of these were made in Mathura, while others were made in Taxila.
    • The second change was a belief in Bodhisattvas.
    • These were supposed to be persons who had attained enlightenment.
    • Once they attained enlightenment, they could live in complete isolation and meditate in peace.
  • Lords of the dakshinapath:
    • Satavahana rulers were known as Lords of the dakshinapath.
