Jats in Indian epics

Malodia clan in Ramayana

Malodia (मालोदिया) Maloodya (मलूडया) Malundya (मलूंडया) gotra Jats live in Tonk district in Rajasthan.

Mention in Ramayana

Ramayana - Bala Kanda Sarga 24 mentions that While crossing over the River Ganga, sage Vishvamitra sails Rama and Laxmana through its confluence with River Sarayu, which flows at their capital Ayodhya. The sage leads them to a deadly forest on the other bank of River Ganga and narrates about the provinces Malada and Karusha and the ambushing nature of demoness Tataka. This is given in shlokas 17-18 as under:

श्रूयताम् वत्स काकुत्स्थ यस्य एतत् दारुणम् वनम् ।
एतौ जनपदौ स्फीतौ पूर्वम् आस्ताम् नरोउत्तम ॥१-२४-१७॥

मलदाः च करूषाः च देव निर्माण निर्मितौ ।
पुरा वृत्र वधे राम मलेन समभिप्लुतम् ॥१-२४-१८॥

Meaning: The resplendent and the great saint Vishvamitra then said to Rama, "I will tell you, oh, my boy Rama, whose is this wretched forest. [1-24-16b, 17a]. Once these were vast provinces, oh, best one among men, designed by gods and known as Malada and Karusha. [1-24-17b, 18a]

Here the province of Malada was probably of Jat Clan Malodia.

Jays in Indian Epics

Laxman Ji,
Without contesting the antiquity and (Indian)Aryan connection of the people who are called and call themselves Jats today, I wish to point out that to esablish the hoary past of this wonderful community most people, and quite knowledgeable ones are tempted to fall back upon the one single word and try to locate it in any form or in any sound however remotely connecte. IN this attempt far fetcherd etymologies are sought to be drawn. Mr. V. Sangwan has briefly pointed it out , though quite modestly.
My own approach would be not to go after mere sounds.The texts quoted are mostly of a mythological character (whose value is immense, in another context,I admit). Wer should also make a distinction between soft and hard sounds of Sanskrit, which when written in Roman are similar.
Further , the text of Panininshould be read in the context. Some people have attrmpted to show as if Panini has noted and mentioned the word Jat. Far from it. He merely lists verbal stems Jat and Jhat and gives the meaning as cluster or a jumble. If any examples are to be culled from sanskrit literature , these are - Jataa, i.e.hairlock,Jatil, i.e.hard or difficult or some one havind Jataas. Yes there are references to the clan names and gotra names throughout in Sanskrit literature and inscriptions. Let us not give these ancient names a latter ay label (of which I am proud today, no doubt). Similar should be our caution when we find similarity of names in history. To club Vishnuvardhan (Vijygarh)th centry A.D.with Yashodharman (YD) of 532 A.D. as father- son duo, does not make credible history. I wish to bring forward later more information on Yashodharman's family gleaned from the the Rishthal (near Mandasur) inscription of Prakashdaharman. How YD is given the Virk gotra by B.S.Dahiya is again a very interestring story born out out of a faulty reading of inscriptional text (here and in many other cases). Sorry for this longish one.
 
Good suggestions Rana Saheb,

We are trying to bring English as well as hindi or sanskrit words together to describe a clan or a place in order to avoid any wrong interpretation. We have compiled words from sanskrit epics literature and brought it to a particular clan just to indicate probability of connections over a long period. If we get otherwise evidences this will lead to delinking a clan from mythological mentions. The Wiki media is of great help in this type of search.

My view is that the names of plants, places and clans are not wrong in epics. Though to establish links of modern clans with the epic tribes needs a deep research. It is also true that clan names were initially used in prakrat language and later on these were sanskritized.

Regards,
 
Jats in Indian Epics

Laxman Ji,
Only yesterday I had posted a (rather longish) response to your post on Indian Epics. I had cross checked the same a little later. It was very much there. Just now I have again opened the page for possible comments on the same. I do not know what has happened. If it has been edited and removed from the postsI have no problem. But if there is any thing else I would try to understand the same.Thanks.

Discovering Nagavanshi Jat History of Nagaur

Alay (अलाय)or Alai (अलाय) is a village in Nagaur tehsil of Nagaur district in Rajasthan. It is located at a distance of about 24 km from Nagaur city in the north-west direction on Nagaur-Nokha road. Its population is 5,711.

Balaya (बलाया) is a village in Nagaur tehsil of Nagaur district in Rajasthan. It is located near Kharnal between Kharnal and Mundwa. Its population is 2,286.

Kharnal is the same place where Nagavanshi Dhaulya Jat deity Tejaji was born.

Nagaur had been hub of Nagavanshi Jat rulers since very ancient times. It is rightly known as Rome of Jats.

Origin of these village names

We do not know the exact meaning of the names Alay and Balaya. In Hindi language both these words together have a meaning: अलाय-बलाय = झगड़ा-बखेड़ा करनेवाला. We know the name of a desert plant is also alay. We know that Nagavanshi rulers had animal and plant totems. Some plants were their state symbols. It appears that this village name Alay has linkages with the ancient Nagavanshi Jat rulers. We know two characters named Aligi and Vilagi mentioned in some hymns of Atharva-Veda (V-13-6 to 10). These verses are translated by an Indian scholar B.G. Tilak on the basis of research work of Bloomfield in which Aligi and Vilagi are identified as Alay and Balaya. This may explain the origin of two villages Alay and Balaya found in Nagaur tahsil in Nagaur district in Rajasthan. Interestingly we trace roots of many Jat clans from these two characters Aligi and Vilagi.

Dr Naval Viyogi writes that according to ancient myths of Iran, the tradition of Naga worship was taken to India from Iran. [1]Whenever we look for the earliest centre of origin of serpent or naga worship it is found in western Asia. Dr Bhagwatsharan Upadhyay [2] has mentioned some hymns of Atharva-Veda (V-13-6 to 10). These verses are as under: Atharv-Veda (V-13-6 to 10) [3]

asitasya tēmātasya babhrapod kasya cha ।

sātrā sānasyāhan manyo khājyomiv dhanvno vimunchāti rathoiva ।। (6)

aligī cha viligī ya pitā cha mātā cha. ।

vidma vah: sarvto banohva raṣāh: kim kariṇyatha. ।। (7)

urugulāyāduhitājātā dāsya sikanyā ।

prataṅ ke vatruso ṇām sarvāsāmaram viśama ।। (8)

tābu vam natābuvam vetva masi tābu yam tābuvenaraśām viśaṃ. ।। (10)

These verses are translated by an Indian scholar B.G. Tilak on the basis of research work of Bloomfield. This is as under:[4]


You are released from the most powerful upodak poison and black brown coloured snake Taimāt, like wise a chariot is released from the horse and bow-string from the bow. (6)

I know Aligi and Viligi (Alai and Valai) who are your father and mother and all your relatives. You are poison less and you can not put to harm. (7)

This daughter of Urugulā is born from karet (black). The poison of them all has become devoid of power, and they have run away to their shelters. (8)

Tābubam (or) and no Tabubam (0, serpent!) you are not Tabubam. Your poison has been made devoid of power with the help of Tabubam. (10)

B. G. Tilak has thrown light on the origin of the words like Taimāta, Aligi, [[[Viligi]]], Urugula and Tabubam and informs us, "These words are non-Vedic and Akkadian (Khandi)". He has again tried to compare the word 'Taimāt' with the Timāyat and 'Tābubam' with the Tobā. But he could not trace the meaning of the words Aligi, Viligi and Urugula in Sanskrit language. He thinks these words are not Indian. But English scholars like Macdonell, Keith and Grifth are also connecting the words Taimata, Upodak, Aligi, Viligi and Urugula with some unknown species of snakes. Viligi is a deity of Assyrian myths. [5] [6]


But endeavour of Dr. Upadhyaya to trace out the origin of these words is highly appreciable. He has traced out the names of Aligi (Alalu) and Viligi (Balalu) in the genealogical table of Assyrian kings, belonging to the period of 3000 B. C. in the guide book composed by Dr. Burnette, department of Assyria and Sumeria. Alalu and Balalu are shown to be the names of father and son.[7] This genealogy is also given in the Cambridge Ancient History-Vol-I.

The study of above verses of Atharv- Veda and veiw-point of different scholars on them, brings out the following conclusions: [8]


(1) The ojhas (priests) of Atharv-Veda age had knowledge of above serpent kings.

(2) According to Yaska these are the words with no meaning.

(3) Macdonell, Kerth and Grifth connect them with some unknown species or snakes.

(4) Aligi and Viligi were father and son who were Assyrian kings of 3000 BC

(5) Above genealogical table has been traced out from excavation of Ur, an ancient city of Sumer.

(6) These names are non-Indian and "Akkadian" or semitics.

Jats in the Epics

Jats in Panini


Friends,
The text jaTa -jhaTa sanghAte are at serial nos 305 and 306 0f the dhatupATha of Panini, which a compedium of verbal roots and is different from the ashTAdhyAyI. Sutra no. 3.3.19 of the ashTAdhayi contains the rule to explain the formation of (morphology) words fromall verbal stems.
Words like shloka or the claim that the word jATa is reffered to by Panini
at 3.3.19 would not be correct. I propose to write a fuller piece on the subject soon.
 
Jats in IndSian Epics

Panini and Jats
The people who are called and call themselves Jats today are, no doubt, the most ancient Aryans generally settled in north and north-west l. Many writers have tried to prove their antiquity through the antiquity of their clan names, inseparably from the label Jat. It is not necessary that if the people are ancient, their label should also be most ancient. But unable to resist the temptation of tracing the same in sources, where it does not exist, has led to some amount of confusion. The confusion has got acute at the hands of those whose caste (label) patriotism scored over authentic historical facts. The label became more important than the people themselves. Ancient Sanskrit texts, particularly those of uncertain authenticity came handy to yield, mixed with some imagination, the desired crop. The most favourite alley in the otherwise very uncertain field has continued to be the Paninian text jaTa, jhaTa sanghAte. The text has been variously described as-sUtra of ashTAdhyAyI or a shloka in the ashTAdhAyI, the Roman transliteration being generally faulty, giving scope to miscarriage of intent. The effort of some persons in choosing to be precise in citing the reference number (3.3.19) from the ashTadhyAyI set one member looking for the originally cited text only to result in an enigma since the text at 3.3.19 is entirely different viz. akartari cha kArake sanjnAyAm. Let me try to explain things:
The ashTAdhyAyI (of eight chapters, each having four quarters where each quarter contains a number of sUtras arranged in a linguistically systematic manner. The sUtras, individually and many a times in combination of several sUtras by inference explain the formation of words of Sanskrit language, as it was in Panini’s time. The sUtras deal with the raw material in the form of verbal roots by adding affixes to obtain nominal forms of words.Panini has identified and after appropriate classification put the verbal stems (dhAtus) in a compilation called the dhAtupATha. Our two dhAtus are listed at serial numbers 305 (jaTa-) and 306 (jhaTa- sanghAte) with the simple meaning that each of the two are used in twe sense of a cluster. The sutra in ashTAdhyAyI at 3.3.19 simply says that the suffix ghanˆ comes after all verbal stems when the sense of root is denoted as having attained the completed state, e.g. prAsah, AhArah etc. But the condition is that such word thus formed shall not be the one which can be used as an agent in the nominative case(in kartA kAraka) e.g.our jATa if we take it as a Sanskrit term) can not be explained by the sUtra under reference. Though words like jaTA (hair locks), jaTila (intertwined (hair etc.) can be explained by the sUtra under reference. The net result is that Panini has nowhere in his works mentioned the word jATaas such. If we wish to manufacture it retrospectively as a Sanskrit word of ancient ages Panini’s sutras do not permit it. So we have to reconcile and look for the antiquity of the people we are talking about on the strength of their clan names and for the moment delink the label jATa for its own history and provenance. I would like to share that part of my findings some other time.

Jats in Indian Epics

Burdak ji, Namaste. The word "नैरृत" seems to be gramatically wrong. It should perhaps be replaced by "नैऋत".

Dayanand ji,
It is only a typographical variation. Both forms convey one and the same sound. Palaeography has gone through immense changes. In some parts of India we have some devanagari letters written diferently from those we in the north write.jha is one example.
 
Jamthun -

Jamthun (जामथुन), PO Delanpur, is a village in Ratlam tahsil in Ratlam district in Madhya Pradesh. It is located in northwest of Ratlam city. Population-1,394.

Jat Gotras in this village

History

Jamthun is the village with traces of ancient habitation. It is known as the city of Jamvanta (जाम्वन्त). Bricks of ancient times have been found in the excavations. There is a water tank of very ancient style. There is need to further do the excavations and discover its past history.[1]

In Ramayana

Kishkindha Kanda Sarga 41 mentions about The Empire of Holy Vanaras in which Sugreeva sends Vanara-s in search of Sita to southward which troop includes Hanuman, Jambavanta, Nila and others and Angada is its leader. Sugreeva gives a vivid picture of the southern side of Jambu dviipa up to the south-most part of passable regions.

Shlokas 2, 3, 4, 5 mention that Sugreeva, the well-informed and brave lord of Vanara troops, then beckoned Angada and the other prominent vanara-s who are valorous ones with full-fledged dash and dare, like the son of Fire-god Neela, and the exceptional vanara Hanuman, the highly vigorous son of Grandparent Brahma, namely Jambavanta, also others like Suhotra, Sharari, Sharagulma, Gaja, Gavaksha, Gavaya, Sushena, Vrishabha, Mainda, Dvivida, Sushena, Gandhamadana, and the two sons of Ritual-fire called Ulkamukha, Ananga.

Study of Jats in Ratlam district in MP

Early History

Discovery of a few stone age tools, picked from three villages of Ratlam, proves the existence of the primitive man in the District. Among these, two microlithic sites were found in Jaora[1]. In Ancient times Ratlam was included in Avanti region, known as Malwa from the 7th-8th century onwards.

This Malwa region of Madhya Pradesh was ruled by Nagavanshi rulers for a long period. This is clear from some historical evidences such as the very name of the town Nagda in adjoining Ujjain district. The name of the town was actually nag-dah which means cremation/burning (dah) of snakes (nagas). Near by Nagda there is famous Delanpur temple of Hanumanji, Place of Naga Maharaj Kalkheda (कालखेड़ा), Kalmoda (कलमोड़ा), Kalukhedi, Kalukheda, Nagpipalya in Ratlam district.

Taxakeshawar (तक्षकेश्वर) or Takhaji (ताखाजी) is a place of religious and historical importance with temple of Taxaka in Mandsaur district in Madhya Pradesh. It is situated at a distance of 22 km from Bhanpura town on Hinglajgarh road. [2]This is the site of serpent king taxak , where he is worshiped as Taxakeshawar but the local people call him Takhaji. Curiously enough he shares the worship of the country folk with Dhanvantri, the Indian Aesculapius. [3][4] The shrine in question stands on a most romantic spot from village Navali[5] situated on the table land at the foot of which Bhanpura lies. [6]

This place is probably the only site having a temple and a statue of nagaraja Taxak. Statue of Taxaka is shown with seven serpent hoods protecting from above. In one hand of Taxaka is shown a human head. On one side is shown his wife and his son on other side. The period of installing this statue is estimated to be 12th century. [7] [8] A fair is organized on every purnima of baisakh month of Hindu Calendar. [9]

There is puranic mythological legend heard about nagaraja Taxaka and Dhanavantari in this part of Malwa region in Madhya Pradesh. Emperor Janamejaya ascended to the throne of Hastinapura upon the death of his father Parikshita. According to legend, Parikshita, the lone descendant of the House of Pandu, had died of snakebite. He had been cursed by a sage to die so, the curse having been consummated by the serpent-chieftain Takshak. Janamejaya bore a deep grudge against the serpents for this act, and thus decided to wipe them out altogether. He attempted this by performing a great Sarpa satra - a sacrifice at Nagda that would destroy all living serpents. All the nagas had been destroyed in this nagayagya except Taxaka, who is believed to have obtained boon from Lord Vishnu. Local tradition goes that Taxaka resides here in this place.

On the other hand Dhanavantari along with his followers and medicines was going to save Parikshita. The Taxaka naga with the help of illusive powers took the form of wood-stick of chandan tree. When Dhanavantari took this wood-stick on his shoulder, the Taxaka bite him on back and Dhanvantari died. The local people believe that Dhanvantari stays here since that time as god of herbs and medicines. The local vaidyas first worship Dhanavantari here and then collect medicinal herbs for treatment.

Study of Jats in Ratlam district in MP

Origin of Ratlam

Dr Ajit Raizada writes that the name of Ratlam is popularly said to be derived from that of Raja Ratan Singh (1652-58), the founder of Ratlam State. This is, however, a fallacy as Ratlam was already in existence before Ratan Singh was granted the district, since it is mentioned by Abul Fazl in the Ain-i-Akbari as one of the mahals in the Ujjain sarkar of Malwa subah. [1]

Bhim Singh Dahiya [2] mentions about king of Varika clan of the Jats ruling in that area in the year 428 S.V., and the name of his grandfather was Yashorata and that of his great grandfather was Vyagrarata. The 'Rata' ending names are admittedly foreign to Indian and this example also shows how the personal names were gradually being Indianised. He [3] further mentions the four ancestors of Vishnuvardhana Varika of Mandsaur Pillar inscription :

1. Vyaghrarata ... 420 A.D.
2. Yasorata ... 455 A.D.
3. Yasovardhana ... 480 A.D.
4. Vishnuvardhana ... 506 A.D.

Here we must note that apart from other evidence, the first two names ending with 'Rata', are not Indian but definitely of Central Asian origin, only partly Indianised. Here this 'Rata' Dynasty probably gives name to Ratlam as there rule in the area is evident from Mandsaur Pillar Inscription.

Dr Naval Viyogi in his book "Nagas: the Ancient Rulers of India, their origin and history" [4] has provided a list of some important Gotras of Tak kshatriyas and explained their history. The list includes Jat as well Rati.

Dr Naval Viyogi also writes that there was a Naga family of Ratta people in the south. Ratta was naga king of Mahinsak-Ratta. C.V. Vaidya [5] has traced out the relation of queen of Ratta family with the region of eastern valley. Kalhan has described her, as the queen of Ratta family of Karnat country, which has been equated with Karnataka and the region has been called Mahinsaka in pali literature and Mahishaka in sanskrit. The rule of Ratta in Karnataka was in in 7-8th century. [6]

Dr Naval Viyogi quotes the opinion of N K Dutta according to whom Aratta were round headed Iranians, and were known as Rattika or Ratta, whose mention has been made in the inscription of Ashoka. This Rattika or Ratta is a variation of Iranian word 'Rathaestha'. Hulus has equated Ratta with the Arattioi of Periplus and Aratta of Punjab. [7]

There is evidence from Shankhpaul jataka that there was a naga king of Ratta or Aratta family who were Karaskaras. [8]

The study of Jat Gotras in Ratlam district shows that at present Ratiwar (रतिवार) Gotra of Jats are found in Ratlam district in Madhya Pradesh. More than three-fourth of Taxaka people merged in to Jat federation. [9] It is clear from this fact that Ratiwars are descendants of Nagavanshi king Rati or Ratti or Ratta. This Nagavanshi king probably gives name to Ratlam.

Jats in Ratlam district

Jats in Ratlam district

Jats were earlier in Nagavansha and lived in this region in ancient times. The local tradition also reveals the presence of Jats in the region in ancient times. We have some authentic records from the Ratlam District Gazetteer about the population of Jats. Dr Ajit Raizada [1]quotes the The Ratlam District Gazetteer Published in 1907, according to which Ratlam district included the three erstwhile princely states of Ratlam, Sailana and Jaora. Regarding Castes,Tribes and Races in the Princely State Ratlam the District Gazetteer gives breakup as under:

* Brahman-11600 (16%),
* Rajputs - 6000 (Rathore;754,chauhans:338, Solanki:226, Parmars;222,Sisodia:184),
* Banias - 4200,
* Kunbis - 2900,
* Jats - 1680,
* Dhakars - 690,
* Khatis - 1400 and
* Malis - 1040

Dr Nirmal Anand (Bajdoliya) from Ratlam collected detailed information in year 2006 about family members of Jats residing in Ratlam district in Madhya Pradesh. The format of information included name of the Village, name of Jat member, age, gotra, relation with head of family, marital status, education and profession. This information was compiled into a book covering 368 pages.

Dr Nirmal Anand published it as a book under the title 'Jat Veer Parichayavali, District Ratlam (Madhya Pradesh)'. This directory has a list of 10713 members of Jat community from 612 Jat Gotras and about 73 villages in Ratlam district. The 380 gotra names are new gotras not yet recorded in Jatland Wiki with any information about them. I have compiled the information village wise, gotra wise and digitized to use it here in this article. This list is a useful document for the study and distribution of Jat gotras in Ratlam district.
