picture info	Hindu Religious Texts Hinduism () is an Indian religion or ''dharma'', a religious and universal order or way of life by which followers abide. As a religion, it is the world's third-largest, with over 1.2–1.35 billion followers, or 15–16% of the global population, known as Hindus.

picture info	Rishi ''Rishi'' () is a term for an accomplished and enlightened person. They find mentions in various Vedic texts. Rishis are believed to have composed hymns of the Vedas. The Post-Vedic tradition of Hinduism regards the rishis as "great yogis" or "sages" who after intense meditation (tapas) realized the supreme truth and eternal knowledge, which they composed into hymns.Hartmut Scharfe (2002), Handbook of Oriental Studies, BRILL Academic, , pp. 13–15. The term appears in Pali literature as Ishi and in Buddhism, they can be either Buddhas, Paccekabuddhas, Arahats or a monk of high rank.

	Rishikas The Rishikas (also ''Rshika'' and ''Ṛṣika'') was an ancient Kingdom of Central Asia and South Asia, who are mentioned in Hindu and Sanskrit literary texts, including the ''Mahabharata'', the ''Ramayana'', the '' Brhat-Samhita'', the '' Markendeya Purana'' and Patanjali's ''Mahabhashya''. Some historians believe the Rishikas were a part of, or synonymous with, the Kambojas. However, the ''Mahabharata'' not only suggests a distinction, but also adds an internal division – sub-divisions within the Rishikas known as the ''Uttara'' ("northern") and the ''Parama'' ("supreme") . Classical literary texts state that the Rishikas were neighbors of the Parama Kambojas and the Lohas in ''Saka-dvipa'' ("Sakaland") (most likely Transoxiana). According to traditional accounts, during the 2nd century BCE a subgroup of Rishikas migrated to southwestern India and settled there, crossing Afghanistan, Balochistan, Sindhu and Sovira.
