Clock A clock is an instrument to measure, keep, and indicate time. The word "clock" is derived (via Dutch, Northern French, and Medieval Latin) from the Celtic words "clagan" and "clocca" meaning "bell". A silent instrument missing such a striking mechanism has traditionally been known as a timepiece. In general usage today, a "clock" refers to any device for measuring and displaying the time. Watches and other timepieces that can be carried on one's person are often distinguished from clocks.

Vadama Vadama (Tamil: வடமா ) meaning "Northerners" are a sub-sect of the Iyer community of Tamil Brahmins. While some believe that their name is an indication of the fact that they were the most recent Brahmin migrants to the Tamil country others interpret the usage of the term "Vadama" as a reference to their strict adherence to the Sanskrit language and Vedic rituals which are of northerly origin . It may also be possible that Vadamas may be Brahmins whose origins lie in the Dravida region of northern Tamil Nadu. Like other Iyer communities, they follow the "Advaita" philosophy propounded by Adi Shankara. A significant proportion of the Vadama community adopted Vaishnavism, and are thus believed to have given rise to the Vadagalai Iyengar community. The oldest historical references to Vadamas date from the first millennium AD. A large number of Vadamas migrated to Kerala during the medieval period, so that Vadamas along with the Brahacharnam form the majority of the Kerala Iyer community. A section of the Vadama community also migrated north to the Telugu country and Maharashtra where they were known as "Dravidas".

Yakshagana raga Yakshagana rāga (Kannada:ಯಕ್ಷಗಾನ ರಾಗ, pronounced as "yaksha-gaana raaga") refers to melodic modes used in yakshagana. It is based on pre-classical melodic forms that consist of a series of five or more musical notes upon which a melody is founded. Yakshagana rāgas have indigenous rāgas and others derived from other forms of music. Rāgas in yakshagana are closely associated with a set of melodic forms called "mattu". Yakshagana rāgas have their own "gamaka". Although yakshagana rāgas share names with rāgas in other Indian music systems, they are compositionally different, with a few exceptions. More than 80 rāgas have been identified to have survived the onslaught of popular and elite musical systems. In Yakshagana tradition, rāgas are associated with different times of the night throughout which Yakshagana is performed.

List of loanwords in Konkani Legend has it that Lord Parashuram (Lord Vishnu's sixth incarnation) shot an arrow into the Arabian Sea from a mountain peak. The arrow hit Baannaavali (Benaulim) and made the sea recede, reclaiming the land of Goa. The history of Goa goes back 20,000–30,000 years and Goans communicate in the Konkani language. Commercial commodities and communications were trades along the Silk Road around 120 BCE – 1450s CE. The commerce and communication initiated within, and continued between and among continents. Goans, the inhabitants of Goa were ruled by different non-secular rulers who were, Hindus, Muslims and Catholics. Coastal Goa during colonial times interacted with traders of same secular faith (e.g., Mohammedan, Christian), who communicated in different languages (e.g., Arabic, Portuguese, French, English). Hence, the Konkani language used for communication in Goa within its own boundaries has been influence by interaction with the governing communities in Arabic, Portuguese, English and Hindi. The interaction resulted in loaning words from other languages. A loanword, (or loan word or loan-word) is a word borrowed from a donor language and incorporated into a recipient language without translation. It is distinguished from a calque, or loan translation, where a meaning or idiom from another language is translated into existing words or roots of the host language. Using loanwords in Konkani language is not unique to Konkani language, and loanwords, from non-secular origins resulted in Arabization and Romanization of languages. Similarly colonial languages such as Portuguese, Spanish and English, have loaned words from each other. Examples of loan words in English include: café (from French "café" ‘coffee’), bazaar (from Persian "bāzār" ‘market’), and kindergarten (from German "Kindergarten" ‘children's garden’). The word "loanword" is itself a calque of the German term "Lehnwort", while the term "calque" is a loanword from French.

During a time of consolidation of the empire in the early 11th century, Satyashraya was involved in several battles with the Chola dynasty of Thanjavur, the Paramara dynasty and Chedi Kingdom of central India, and the Chaulukyas of Gujarat. The results of these wars were mixed, with victories and defeats. Even as a prince, during the rule of his father Tailapa II, Satyashraya had established himself as an ambitious warrior. Satyashraya patronised the great Kannada poet Ranna (one among the "three gems" or "ratnatraya" of classical Kannada literature) who compared his patron favourably to the Pandava prince Bhima (of the epic Mahabharatha) for his strength and valor in his epic poem "Sahasabhimavijaya" ("lit", "Daring Bhima", the epic also known as "Gadayuddha"). Satyashraya held such titles as "Akalavarsha", "Akalankacharita" and "Sahasabhima".

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.
