"Ahimsa also known as Ahinsa (IAST: ahiṃsā, Pāli:[1] avihiṃsā) means 'not to injure' and 'compassion' and refers to a key virtue in Indian religions.
The word is derived from the Sanskrit root hiṃs – to strike; hiṃsā is injury or harm, a-hiṃsā is the opposite of this, i.e. cause no injury, do no harm.
Ahimsa is also referred to as nonviolence, and it applies to all living beings—including all animals—in ancient Indian religions."

Ahimsa is the highest virtue, Ahimsa is the highest self-control,
Ahimsa is the greatest gift, Ahimsa is the best suffering,
Ahimsa is the highest sacrifice, Ahimsa is the finest strength,
Ahimsa is the greatest friend, Ahimsa is the greatest happiness,
Ahimsa is the highest truth, and Ahimsa is the greatest teaching

" king of Lothian appears in both early Latin and Welsh sources. An early fragmentary Life of St Kentigern contains a Leudonus of Leudonia as the maternal grandfather of Saint Kentigern, also known as Mungo.
In this text, Leudonus becomes enraged when he discovers that his daughter, Kentigern's mother Teneu, had been raped and become pregnant by Owain mab Urien, and has her thrown from a cliff.
However, she survives the ordeal with divine protection and goes to Saint Serf's community, where she gives birth to Kentigern.
Welsh sources call this same character Lewdwn or Llewdwn Lluydauc (Llewdwn of the Hosts) and make him king of Gododdin.
In the Middle Ages, no principle of historiography was more solidly established than the idea that places took their names from persons.
The name Lot may be connected to the Norse name Hlot or Ljot, which appears in the Norse sagas and was known in Orkney. It may also be connected to the standing stone called the Stone Lud.
