He divided all these elements into three categories.

First : Ruins of ancient times ie ancient houses, temples, pillars, statues, coins, inscriptions etc. Among these ancient ‘writings’ like inscriptions, Copper Plates etc. are the most valuable materials for writing history.

Many details of the art and civilization of the time can be found from the ruins of ancient statues and houses.

Third : Foreign Books Many foreign travelers came to India and wrote various accounts of this country. Among them, Greek Megasthenes, Hiuen and Yi Tsing of China and Al Beruni of Arab countries are among them. We also get a lot of help from foreign history and rock inscriptions.
