Tungga in Rajatarangini

Rajatarangini[SUP][9][/SUP] writes that In a village named Vaddivasaparnotasa there was born one named Vāna of the tribe of Khasha. He had a son named Tungga, who tended buffaloes. This man with his five brothers came to Kashmira, and entered the service of the minister for war and peace; and was employed to carry letters. He once brought a letter to the queen Didda (958 - 1003 AD), she saw him, and fell in love with him.
[p.165]: Tungga, to whom the queen became every day more and more attached, at last superseded all, and became the Chief minister of Kashmir. The old ministers made peace with Tungga and his five brothers, in order to conceal their attempt to effect a revolution in the kingdom. They consulted with the inhabitants of Kashmira, and called in the son of the queen's brother, the spirited Vigraharaja, who again brought in some Brahmanas to perform certain ceremonies for the success of their effort. The Brahmanas advised the murder of Tungga, and the
[p.166]: oppressed people began to seek for Tungga in order to kill him. Didda (958 - 1003 AD) shut up Tungga in a room, and waited for few days apprehending an attack. She bribed Sumanomattaka and other Brahmanas with her gold. The intended attack, being thus bought off Vigraharaja was obliged to retire. Tungga was once more safe in his place and killed Kardamaraja and others who had attempted rebellion. Sulakkana son of Rakka, and other chief ministers were either exiled or allowed remain in the court according as Tungga and his partisans were angry or pleased with them. Vigraharaja again began secretly to engage the Brahmanas to his party. But Tungga came upon them and captured the Brahmanas who were bribed. One Aditya, a favorite of Vigraharaja attempted to fly, but was caught by the soldiers and killed. Vatsaraja, a follower of Vigraharaja was flying, but was wounded and captured. Tungga bound Sumanomattaka and other Brahmanas, and sent them to prison.
On the death of Phalguna, the king of Rajapuri became very insolent, which led to an attack on him by the ministers of Kashmira. In the battle which ensued with Prithvipala, commander of the Rajapuri forces, many were destroyed on either side. Two of the ministers of Kashmira Shipātaka and Hansaraja perished. But Tungga with his brothers suddenly entered the city by another way, and set it on fire. The Rajapuri army well as Prithvipala and their king were defeated, and the king
[p.167]: now humbled consented to pay tribute to Tungga ; be that Tungga recovered the money which was spent in the war. Returning to the capital of Kashmira, the powerful Tungga accepted the lordship of Kampana and destroyed the villages of the Damaras.

Tunga in Rajatarangini (Contd)

Rajatarangini[SUP][10][/SUP] further tells that [p.169]:King Kshamapati was very brave and powerful. After the death of the queen, another attempt was made to destroy Tungga. But it failed, and his enemies lived to see his increasing glory. At this time Chandrākara died ; he was a great warrior, and worthy of being a minister. He was known to the king. At this time also died the heroic sons of Punyākara in the village of Bhimatikā; and as there were none worthy of the post of minister, the king reluctantly favored the party of Tungga. The late queen, at the time of her death, had bestowed wealth on Tungga and his people, so that they might not quarrel with the king. The king was incapable of work even for the transaction of his duties and entrusted the administration to Tungga, and led a life of pleasure. What more shall I say of the king's meanness ! He compromised his glory by making alliance with an unworthy family. For he gave his daughter Lothikā to Prema the headman of the Didda temple, because Prema was a powerful man and might help him in his danger. So instead of marrying his daughter to a prince, he married her to a beggar Brāhrnana.

Rebellion at Parihasapura against Tungga:
At Parihasapura the Brahmana ministers caused magic to be performed for the fall of Tungga. The revolution which was thus caused by a combination among the
[p.170]: Brahmana ministers, was like the union of violent wind and fire. This the king came to know and felt greatly insulted thereby. They then attempted to destroy the king. Sajja and others were requested by the Brahmanas to join the conspiracy for the overthrow of the king, and they agreed to it. But when the magical operation was near its completion. The king gained them over by a large bounty, and the conspiracy was divulged. The Brahmanas lied in fear to the house of Rajakalasha who had instigated the act. Rajakalasha, whose wiles were now discovered, fought with obstinacy. But the Brahmanas fled by a secret way, and Rajakalasha was overcome. The seven ministers, sons of Shridhara then maintained the struggle but fell also. After their death, Rajakalasha was defeated by Sugandhisiha Tungga's brother and was brought bound by order of Tungga. On his way along the Skanda road, his guards made him dance, wounded and disarmed as he was. Another minister named Bhutikalasha. (partisan of Raja-kalasha) was also defeated and he fled with his son to Suramatha. He was not captured out of pity and went away broken hearted and accompanied by his son to some other country. Thus the rebellion at Parihasapura benefited Tungga. When Gunadeva had appeased the anger of the king, Bhutikalasha returned to the country after performing his bath in the Ganges. He obtained a post in the palace and was afterward, secretly employed by the king to assassinate
[p.171]: Tungga. But the secret oozed out, and Tungga came to know of it, and Bhutikalasha with his son was again sent to exile by the king. At this time died Mayyāmattaka son of Chandrākara, who was just rising to prosperity. And Prema who was the king's son-in-law, and had done some good to the country died then ; as also Gangga and other favorites of the king. Only Tungga and his brothers survived. Thus perished all of whom Tungga had been afraid. He was like a tree on the side of a liver, from whose base the earth is washed away by the waves and which therefore threatens to fall; but the waves bring back the soil and make its base firm again.
Tungga had administered the kingdom justly, and to the benefit of the people, but now his sense began to fail him. He took as his assistant a low-born Kayastha named Bhadreshvara.
He entrusted the management of the king's household to his wicked assistant in exclusion of the virtuous and the high minded. He deprived the Brahmanas and the helpless and the king's dependants of their livelihood. Even the hardhearted men those who carry the dead &c, feed their own kith and kin, but this man killed his own relations. It was in the month of Chaitra that Tungga took this man into his favor, and in A'shara Sugandhisiha, Tungga's brother died. He was a great help to his brother and by his death Tungga thought himself deprived of the debt member of his body.
 
Tunga in Rajatarangini (Contd)

Trilochanapala asked for help:

[p.172]: Trilochanapala (ruled c.1010-22) the Shahi having asked for help against his enemy, the king of Kashmira sent Tungga to his country in the month of Mārgashirsha. He was accompanied by a large and powerful army with feudatory chiefs and ministers and Rajpoots. The Shahi welcomed them to his country, and advanced to meet them ; and they spent five or six days in pleasure and congratulation. Shahi saw their want of discipline and told them that since they did not mean to fight with the Turushkas, they might remain at ease at the flank of a hill. But Tungga did not accept this good advice and he as well as his army was anxious for the battle. The Kashmirians crossed the river Tonshi, and destroyed the detachment of soldiers sent Hammira to reconnoiter. But though the Kashmiriaus were eager for the fight, the wise Shahi repeatedly advised them to take shelter behind the rock, but Tungga disregarded the advice, for all advice is vain, when one is doomed to destruction. The General of the Turks was well versed in the tactics of war and brought out his army early in the morning. On this the army of Tungga immediately dispersed, but the troops of the Shahi fought for a while. When these latter fled, three persons were still seen in the field, gallantly fighting against the cavalry of the enemy. They were Jayāsinlri (?), Shrivardhana and Vibhramārka the Damara. And there too was the valiant Trilochanapala, whose valor passes description and who, though Overwhelmed by unequal numbers remained unconquered.
[p.173]: His body bled, and he looked, like Mahadeva wrapt in the flames of the last fire with which the world is to be destroyed. After facing his numerous foes clad in mail, he at last retreated, and the enemy overran a large tract of the country. Hammira though victorious in the field felt himself ill at ease on witnessing the super-human heroism of Trilochanapala. The Shahi took shelter in Hāstika and made great efforts to retrieve his fortune. Thus have I briefly narrated the fall and extinction of the line of Shahi, and now the very existence of his kingdom of which I have spoken in the history of Shangkaravarmma , had become an object of doubt. Fate accomplishes what appears improbable even in dream, and what cannot even be conceived. Tungga returned to his country, but the king of Kashmira as forbearing as he was devoid ambition, was not angry with him for his cowardly flight in the battle. Still Tungga was very much grieved. His son Kandarpasinha was proud of his wealth and his heroism and lived in a kingly style which gave his father much annoyance.
Vigraharaja the king's brother privately wrote to the king advising him to kill Tungga. But the king remembered the last injunction of the late queen, and for a long time remained unsettled. Urged, however, by repeated letters he at last said to the carriers of the epistles that he seldom saw Tungga alone with his son, and if he was found alone the deed might be attempted. "For if you make an attempt on his life when he is not
[p.174]: alone, he will be able to destroy us. So wait till there be an opportunity." The messengers remembered the advice of the king, and tried to find Tungga alone. Within six months from this time the king sent for Tungga, and though he had dreamt an evil dream, still he went out of his house alone with his son. Tungga entered the king's court, and there remained in his presence for a short time, after which he went into the council chamber with five or six servants. He was fallowed by Pava, Sharka and others, who without saying anything to the king began to strike Tungga with their weapons. Sinharatha, born of the line of Mahāratha was the minister of king Shangkaravarmma, and was the most dutiful of Tungga's attendants. Though without arms, still he tried to save Tungga by throwing himself over him. But Tungga was killed at the first blow, and the king was rejoiced. The wicked Kangka and Partha the son of the court Brahrnana Dharmma an enemy of Tungga, were present on the spot. They placed their fingers on their lips, in fear, (perhaps to signify thereby that they would not interfere in the least) and threw down their arms to save themselves. Changga and the other ministers who were also present, though friendly to Tungga and armed, stood still in fear like women. The king cut off the heads of Tungga and his son and threw them outside the palace in order to encourage his own men and dishearten the followers of Tungga so that they might not in ignorance of their master's fate still
[p.175]: -hold out, or set fire to the palace. The servants saw their master's head and fled, very few showed any zeal for their master. One only named Bhujangga son of a Brahmana feudatory chief entered the chamber and pursued the king from room to room. He broke open the doors and killed twenty warriors in the king's court. There died the treasurer Trailokyaraja and the hero Abhinava son of the nurse of Kapyamatta. In the court-yard lay the dead bodies of thirty Ekanggas, followers of Tungga, Padmaraja who remained unhurt in the fray, went to some shrine to assuage his grief for the death of his master. Others though they did not venture to fight, were killed by the king's partisans, Chandrakhya who considered himself a warrior, Arjjuna and Delāchakra the Damara, though they threw down their arms, were killed by the king's party.
Tungga died on the twelfth day after the new moon in the month of Ashara. His house and property were plundered by the king. After the death of Tungga and his son, who were not rebels, the wily people gained ascendancy in the palace. Naga the brother of Tungga who had abused the ears of the king with evil council, and was in fact the cause of the destruction of his brother and brother's son, and was ill spoken of by men, was now made lord of Kampana by the king. Kshemā wife of Kandarpa-sinha, Tungga's son, lived in criminal intimacy with Naga. After four days and when the tumult had ceased, Thintha a chaste wife of Kandarpasinha, and daughter
[p.176]: of Shahi burnt herself in the fire. Mangkhana wife of, Tungga fled with the celebrated Vichitrasinha, and Bra-trisinha, sons of Kandarpasinha and with their mother Mamma; and passed her days at Rajapuri.

History of Nara Jat clan

Nara (नारा)[SUP][1][/SUP] [SUP][2][/SUP] is gotra of Jats in Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. Nara clan is found in Afghanistan also. [SUP][3]

[/SUP]
Origin


  • The clan Nara may be said to be originated from King named Nara of Kashmir.
  • This gotra is said to be originated from Greek word Naraya (नाराय). [SUP][4][/SUP]

History

Mor and Nara (नारा) are mentioned as Mura and Naraka (नरक)[SUP][5][/SUP] – two powerful “ Yavana” Kings, who were ruling over the Mura and Naraka along with Varuna in the western countries. [SUP][6][/SUP] Also compare Maru and Nairi of Assyrians inscriptions. [SUP][7][/SUP]
H.A. Rose[SUP][8][/SUP] writes that Karral (कर्राल), a tribe found only in Hazara. According to the late Colonel H. G. Wace " the Karral country consists of the Nara ilaqa in Abbottabad tahsil. The Karrals were formerly the subjects of the Gakkhars, from whom they emancipated themselves some two centuries ago.

King named Nara of Kashmir

Rajatarangini[SUP][9][/SUP] mentions in the list of Kings of Kashmir one Nara I, King of Darvabhisara: Then came his son Nara I, sometimes called Kinnara, to the throne. Whatever he did for the benefit of his subjects turned, from want of proper judgment, to their injury. A Buddhist who lived in a monastery in a certain village eloped with his queen, this so enraged him, that he burnt thousands and thousands of monasteries, and gave to the Brahmanas, who dwelt at Madhyamata, the villages that supported those monasteries. He built a town on the banks of the Vitasta, which he laid out with spacious roads, and adorned with the spoils of other countries. It was crowded with rich shops, and graced with fruit and flower gardens, and the river below was covered with boats.

Rajatarangini[SUP][10][/SUP] mentions that the passion Nara I suffered what none over suffered. When a king, under the pretence of protecting his subjects, oppresses them, he generally meets such a death unawares. Even to this day, the burnt houses and the tank near the hill Chakradhara remind the people of the occurrence. This king reigned over a period of thirty-nine years and nine months, and within this short time the town of Kinnarapura (Narapura) became as beautiful as Gandharvapura. It was by mere chance that Nara's son prince Sidha was absent at Vijayakshetra when the catastrophe happened to the king and his capital, and thus his life was saved from the general ruin.

Rajatarangini[SUP][11][/SUP] mentions a place called Narapura.
Genealogy of Nara

History of Serdiya clan

राजस्थान के चूरु जिले की सुजानगढ़ तहसील के गाँव चरला में प्रचलित परंपरा के अनुसार संवत 1622 (1565 ई.) चैत बदी तीज की घटना है। कानाराम सेरड़िया के पुत्र रूपाराम पुत्र, उनके पुत्र सुरजाराम, उनके पौत्र के साथ उसकी दादी और माँ के सती होने की घटना है। सती दादी अन्नीदेवी सरणों की बेटी थी। सती दादी अन्नीदेवी की बहू आसीदेवी गाय का दूध निकाल रही थी। गाय के बछड़े को बेटे ने पकड़ रखा था। बेटे से बछड़ा छुट गया तो गुस्से में माँ ने बेटे को गाय के पैरों में बंधे नेणा से मारा तो बच्चा खत्म हो गया। दादी और माँ को इस पर इतना दुख हुआ कि वे दोनों सती हो गईं।
आज चरला गाँव में दादी अन्नीदेवी और बहू आसीदेवी के भव्य मंदिर बने हैं। दादी अन्नीदेवी के मंदिर में भव्य मूर्ति स्थापित है जिसमें सती दादी अन्नीदेवी पौते को अपने गोद में लिए है तथा पास में बहू आसीदेवी क्षमा मांगने की मुद्रा में है। इसके थोड़ी दूर पर बहू आसीदेवी का मंदिर है। प्रति वर्ष चैत माह की तीज को यहाँ जागरण लगता है और सती दादी और आसी देवी को धोक लगती है।
आज सेरड़िया जाट कहीं भी बसे हों वे सब चरला गाँव से ही गए हैं। जहां भी सेरड़िया जाट गए वहाँ सती दादी का मंदिर जरूर बनाया है।
चरला के अलावा सेरड़िया कानूता गाँव, त: सुजानगढ़, चुरू में तथा बुड़किया, त: भोपालगढ़, जोधपुर में बसे हैं।

Mor clan new facts

Rajatarangini tells us that in the reign of Pravarasena, king of Kashmir, He caused to be built a large bridge of boats on the Vitasta, and from that time the bridge of boats became known to the world. His maternal uncle Jayendra built a large Buddhist vihara named Jayendra-vihara after his name. And his minister Moraka, who ruled Ceylon, built a beautiful house named Morakabhavana. It is to be noted here that Moraka is variant of Mor. (Rajatarangini of Kalhana:Kings of Kashmira/Book III,p.53)
 
Rajatarangini mentions that when Sussala became King of Kashmir second time in 1121 AD he faced difficulties. There happened a disaster on the bridge over the Sindhu, king was defeated but Renewal of war continued. It is mentioned that Ananda of the family of Kaka, Loshtasha, Nala and other renowned warriors in the Damara army were killed by the king's (Sussala) soldiers. Lamnā was not brought before the eyes of the severe king, but the king's servants, like Chandalas, killed many people. The remnant of Bhikshu's army ascended the hill of Gopadri in fear, but the king's soldiers surrounded them on all sides and their destruction became imminent. (Ref: Kings of Kashmira Vol 2 (Rajatarangini of Kalhana)/Book VIII, p.94)

It is interesting to note here that warriors mentioned Kak, Lotsara, Nal, Damara, Limna are all in the list of Jat clans.
 
Jat clans in Rajatarangini

Rajatarangini mentions that Bhagika, Sharadbhasi, Mummuni, Mungata, Kalasha and other men of the king Sussala's party harassed the enemies. Kamalaya, son of Lavaraja king of Takka, took the king's side in this war in 1121 AD. His younger brother Sangika and his brother's son Prithvipala defended him on two sides. (Kings of Kashmira Vol 2 (Rajatarangini of Kalhana)/Book VIII,p.93)

It is to be noted that each name mentioned here represents Jat clan:

Bhangi = Bhagika

Saradvat = Sharadbhasi

Mangat = Mungata

Kalash = Kalasha

Kamalia = Kamalaya

Lava = Lavaraja

Takka = Taxak

Sangi = Sangika

King Sussala mentioned here is of Lohara dynasty which itself is of Lohar or Lora Jat clans.
 
History of Pichkya clan

Pichkya (पिच्क्या) Pichkiya (पिचकिया) Pinchkiya/Pinchkya (पिंचकिया) Gotra Jats are found in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan.

[h=2]Origin - Pichkya clan appears to get name from king Pinchadeva mentioned in Rajatarangini. [/h]
[h=2]History[/h] Rajatarangini[SUP][1][/SUP] tells us ...In 1127 king Sussala was murdered. ....Induraja, a commander in the army, born of the line of Kularaja was also surrounded by the same Damaras ; but by some pretext Induraja obtained the protection of Tikka at Dhyānoddāra. Pinchadeva and many other leaders of the army were besieged by the Damaras and they left Kramarajya. (Pinchadeva→Pichkya)
Rajatarangini[SUP][2][/SUP] tells us ... At this time, in the mouth of Shravana, the grateful king (Simhadeva) went to Vijayeshvara to welcome the victorious lord of Kampana. In the meantime Utpala who was coming from Pinchadeva at Shurapura was murdered by the lord of Dranga in a mountain cavern. He was returning from Pushpananada in order to serve Pinchadeva, when he was found out by the lord of Dranga who was secretly looking out for him. But the lord of Dranga was thrown on the ground and was on the point of death. His knee was pierced with arrow. He killed a soldier of the enemy's party whom he found by him. (p.136)

Research on History of Guleria Clan

I visited Sujangarh town in Churu district of Rajasthan on 7.3.2016. From the names given on Jatland I contacted 2-3 persons from there and asked for any history of town or any Jat clans. Shri Pitha Ram Guleria kindly made me available a Jat Directory they have published few months back.

  • I was curious to know who founded Sujangarh town and when Guleria and other people settled here. Some content he provided me from research they have done and published in this directory of Jats. Some of the facts they could tell me from the faint memory of their for fathers. With this input I could use the information available on Jatland to complete history of Guleria clan to be followed.
