Sisindiran Sisindiran is a Sundanese poem in which an allusion (sindir) is given by a combination of words which allude to the real meaning by sound association. Sisindiran (susualan) are often found in Sundanese verse: in tembang Sunda they occur mainly in the Panambih Songs. They invariably consist of a cangkang ("cover, rind, skin") without meaning, followed by a eusi ("content" or "essence"), the real meaning. The association between the "cover" and the real meaning is indicated by structural correspondences of sound and patterns. If the sound patterns of the cangkang and the eusi are parallel, the sisindiran is termed a paparikan. This is the case for instance, in the following poem where the first two lines constitute the cangkang and the third and the fourth lines the eusi:

Khim The Khim (Khmer: ឃឹម "Khum";Thai: ขิม, ];) is a stringed musical instrument that is from Persia, called Hammered Dulcimer or Cimbalon. This Khim was introduced to Cambodia, Laos and Thailand from China, where a similar (though, since the late 20th century, usually larger) instrument is called "yangqin". This instrument is also known as Santur in India. It is played with two flexible bamboo sticks with soft leather at the tips to produce a soft tone. This instrument can be played by either sitting down on the floor with the khim on the floor, or by sitting on a chair or standing while the Khim is on a stand. The khim produces a bright and expressive sound when played. It is made of wood, with brass strings that are laid across the instrument. The Australian-born musician and vocal artist Lisa Gerrard specialises in the use of a khim hammered dulcimer, featuring its music on several albums and performing with the instrument live on tour.

Satpanth Satpanth is a Sanskrit term used initially by Nizari Ismailis and Ismaili Sufis to identify their faith formed by conversions from Hinduism over 700 years ago by Pir Sadruddin "(1290-1367)." Though the term today is used mainly by its subgroup formed over 600 years ago in the 15th century by his grandson Pir Imam Shah (1430-1520) which itself consists of various sub-sects, and differs from the mainstream Nizari Khojas in that they reject the Aga Khan as their leader and are known more commonly as Imam-Shahi, and are more likely to outwardly identify themselves as Hindu. Uniquely, the term Satpanth has been historically used by Ismailis that claim to be Muslim, as well as by adherents of subgroups that claim to be Hindu. There are villages in Gujarat which are totally 'Satpanthi' such as Pirana near Ahmedabad where Imam Shah is buried. Satpanthi Dargahs are known to be venerated with a stark contrast in the devotees, with outward Muslims who may wear a hijab, and outward Hindus wearing traditional garb such as the sari.

Singri There are at least 2 places in India called Singri. One in South India, in the state of Tamil Nadu, close to the city of Vellore. This place is also referred to as Singiri or "Singri". There is a 1000-year-old temple built in the honor of Lord Lakshmi Narasimha (Nara=Human, Simha=Lion). There is a pratiti (nearest equivalent is a historic fact) that Lord took the form of a half lion and half human to defeat an asura (Demon) who had a boon that no man or beast can kill him. Since he got the boon, however, he had become too proud and condescending toward everyone and troubled them in every possible way. So people prayed to the lord for help when Lord took the form of Narasimha. The statue is amazingly beautiful and witness to the skills of the artists of that day. The place is situated far from all the commotions of a city, reflecting the need for peace sought by every human being.

Old Gujarati Old Gujarātī (જૂની ગુજરાતી ; also called ગુજરાતી ભાખા "Gujarātī bhākhā" or ગુર્જર અપભ્રંશ "Gurjar apabhraṃśa", 700 BCE–1500 CE), the ancestor of modern Gujarati and Rajasthani, was spoken by the Gurjars, who were residing and ruling in Gujarat, Punjab, Rajputana and central India. The language was used as literary language as early as the 12th century. Texts of this era display characteristic Gujarati features such as direct/oblique noun forms, postpositions, and auxiliary verbs. It had three genders, as Gujarati does today, and by around the time of 1300 CE, a fairly standardized form of this language emerged. While generally known as Old Gujarati, some scholars prefer the name of Old Western Rajasthani, based on the argument that Gujarati and Rajasthani were not yet distinct. Factoring into this preference was the belief that modern Rajasthani sporadically expressed a neuter gender, based on the incorrect conclusion that the [ũ] that came to be pronounced in some areas for masculine [o] after a nasal consonant was analogous to Gujarati's neuter [ũ]. A formal grammar of the precursor to this language, "Prakrita Vyakarana", was written by Jain monk and eminent scholar Hemachandra Suri in the reign of Chaulukya king Jayasimha Siddharaja of Anhilwara (Patan).

Devapi In Hinduism, Devapi (Sanskrit: देवापि , Devāpi , lit. "friend of Gods") or Devāpi Arṣṭiṣeṇa, is an immortal sage. According to the Nirukta (ii.10), the "Brihaddevata", the Mahabharata, and the Puranas, he was a Kuru prince and the eldest son of King Pratipa of Hastinapura. He was a noble and well-liked prince but he was not allowed to succeed Pratipa, because he was affected with leprosy and the council of Brahmins and elderly citizens were opposed to this proposal. As a result of this, his younger brother Shantanu succeeded Pratipa as the king of Hastinapura. Later Devapi retired to the forest for penance. According to the Matsya Purana and the Bhagavata Purana, he along with the sage Maru will remain alive till the end of the present Kaliyuga at a place called Kalapagrama and will revive the Paurava dynasty in the next Kritayuga.

Durgasimha Durgasimha (c. 1025) was the minister of war and peace ("Sandhi Vigrahi") of Western Chalukya King Jayasimha II (also known as Jagadekamalla, r. 1018–1042). Durgasimha adapted the well-known set of fables, "Panchatantra" ("The five stratagems"), from Sanskrit language into the Kannada language in "champu" style (mixed prose and verse). The Kannada language version, whose central theme has a strong Jain bent, contains 60 fables, 13 of which are original stories. All the stories have morality as their theme and carry a summary section ("Katha Shloka"). The Kannada version is the earliest Indian vernacular version, and the author, being a minister, not surprisingly, chose to write a book on political science ("Rajniti"). The scholar R. Narasimhachar fixed the date of this work as c. 1025, but the modern Kannada poet and scholar Govinda Pai dated the work to March 8, 1031, based on information in the concluding stanza of the manuscript.
