देवबंद

विजयेन्द्र कुमार माथुर[3] ने लेख किया है ...देवबंद (AS, p.448) सहारनपुर ज़िला, उत्तर प्रदेश का एक नगर है। किंवदंती के अनुसार यह माना जाता है कि देवबन्द महाभारत कालीन 'द्वैतवन' है और 'देवबंद' द्वैतवन का ही अपभ्रंश है। एक अन्य जनश्रुति के आधार पर यह भी कहा जाता है कि देवबन्द या 'देववन' में प्राचीन काल में 'देवीबन' नामक वन की स्थिति थी। देवी दुर्गा का एक स्थान अभी तक यहाँ वर्तमान में है। वल्लभ सम्प्रदाय के प्रसिद्ध भक्त हितहरिवंश से सम्बद्ध 'राधावल्लभ मंदिर' भी उल्लेखनीय है। (द्वैतवन)


यह मुज़फ़्फ़रनगर से लगभग 54 किलोमीटर दूर स्थित है। अरबी भाषा से सम्बद्ध एक संस्था भी यहाँ पर है, जिसका नाम 'दारूल उलूम' है।[4]

द्वैतवन

विजयेन्द्र कुमार माथुर[5] ने लेख किया है ...द्वैतवन (AS, p.460) - महाभारत में वर्णित वन जहाँ पांडवों ने वनवास काल का एक अंश व्यतीत किया था। यह वन सरस्वती नदी के तट पर स्थित था, 'ते यात्वा पांडवास्तत्र ब्राह्मणैर्बहुभि: सह, पुण्यं द्वैतवनं रम्यं विविशुर्भरतर्षभा:। तमालतालाभ्रमधूकनीप कदंबसर्जार्जुनकर्णिकारै:, तपात्यये पुष्पधरैरुपेतं महावनं राष्ट्रपतिं ददर्श। [p.461]: मनोरमां भोगवतीमुपेत्य पूतात्मनांचीरजटाधराणाम्, तस्मिन् वने धर्मभृतां निवासे ददर्श सिद्धर्षिगणाननेकान्' (महाभारत वन 24, 16-17-20).

भोगवती नदी सरस्वती ही का एक नाम है। भारवी के 'किरातार्जुनीयम्' 1,1 में भी द्वैतवन का उल्लेख है-- 'स वर्णलिंगी विदित: समाययौ युधिष्ठिरं द्वैतवने वनेचर:.

महाभारत सभा पर्व में द्वैतवन नाम के सरोवर का भी वर्णन है-- 'पुण्य द्वैतवनं सर:'(महाभारत सभा पर्व 24, 13.

कुछ विद्वानों के अनुसार ज़िला सहारनपुर, उत्तर प्रदेश में स्थित देवबंद ही महाभारत कालीन द्वैतवन है। संभव है प्राचीन काल में सरस्वती नदी का मार्ग देवबंद के पास से ही रहा हो।

शतपथ ब्राह्मण 13, 54, 9 में द्वैतवन नामक राजा को मत्स्य-नरेश कहा गया है। इस ब्राह्मण ग्रंथ की गाथा के अनुसार इसने 12 अश्वों से अश्वमेध यज्ञ किया था जिससे द्वैतवन नामक सरोवर का यह नाम हुआ था। इस यज्ञ को सरस्वती तट पर संपन्न हुआ बताया गया है। इस उल्लेख के आधार पर द्वैतवन सरोवर की स्थिति मत्स्य अलवर, जयपुर, भरतपुर के क्षेत्र में माननी पड़ेगी। द्वैतवन नामक वन भी सरोवर के निकट ही स्थित होगा। मीमांसा के रचयिता जैमिनी का जन्मस्थान द्वैतवन ही बताया जाता है।

There also are the rivers Bahuda (बाहुदा) (III.85.21) and Nanda River (नन्दा) (III.85.21) on the mountain's crest. O mighty king, I have described unto thee all the tirthas and sacred spots in the Eastern quarter.

Shalya Parva, Mahabharata/Book IX Chapter 36 describes Baladeva's journey along the bank of the Sarasvati river. Dwaitavana (द्वैतवन) (Lake) is mentioned in Mahabharata (IX.36.26). [8]He (Baladeva) then, O king, proceeded to the Dwaita lake. Arrived there, Vala saw diverse kinds of ascetics in diverse kinds of attire. Bathing in its waters, he worshipped the Brahmanas. Having given away unto the Brahmanas diverse articles of enjoyment in profusion, Baladeva then, O king, proceeded along the southern bank of the Sarasvati.
