                          (Early Asian Medieval History (740-1100 AD)

                                              By: Bhishma Kukreti
 
                   There were many historical ups and downs in Easter part of Middle East, North India, Central India and Uttarakhand at the time of last kings of Katyuris of Kartikeyapur. 

                                          Sarsava (North India) Kingdom
             Around the time of successors of Subhiskhraj Katyuri period after 908Ad, the Katyuri kingdom started disintegrating.
  The western block of Yamuna valley came under Trigart –Jalandhar kings.
 The Sarsava king Naresh Chandra captured Ambala, Bbhabar of Saharanpur, Foothills of Dehradun and Sirmaur (Himachal) territories. Sarsava or Sarva was the capital of Sarsava kingdom at Yamuna bank.

                                       Shahi or Shahiya King Jaypal
           Jaypal King was ruling Shahiya kingdom was in western part of Sarsava kingdom till Kabul. Jaypal had two capitals –Lahor and Udmand (near Indus River bank).  The Amir of Ghazani Sabuktigin and his son Mahmud started looting in Jaypal kingdom. Jaypal twice attacked with force on Ghazani Amir at Lamghan.  Both time Jaypal got defeated. In 1001, Mahmud captured the territory from Udmand to Kabul.  Mahmud captured four lakh people and took them to Ghazani.

There was bllod bathed war in Udmand. Anandpal was just to win that his elephant got mad and Shahi Naresh Anand Pal had to run away. Mahmud ran behind Shahi Naresh Anand Pal till Nagarkot of Vyas valley. Mahmud and his army looted countless wealth from the territory. Anand Pal was defeated by Mahmud and Anand Pal took shelter of Mahmud.
 

                Mahmud got the taste of wealth and made strategy to loot other Indian cities.
             Mahmud attacked Thaneshwar in 1011 and looted there. Thanshwar king Ram was defeated by Mahmud.

 Mahmud captured millions of Indians and made them slaves in Ghazani.

  Trilochan Pal was killed while running to Vidyadhar.

 The suppressions of Muslim invaders compelled Indians to take shelters in Himalayan hills in mass.
 The priests, Siddh, Mantriks, Tantriks , scholars, ascetics, Nath, Saints took asylum in Himalayan hills.
 Katyuris provided shelters to these Hindus who did not accept the Muslim rules of converting into Islam.

Asian Medieval History Features of King Narsinghdev Katyuri Kingdom

                          (Asian Medieval History (740-1200 AD)

                                              By: Bhishma Kukreti

 Lack of History Records about Katyuri Imperialism of Baidyanath/Baijnath (Asian Medieval History)

                 Around 1000AD, Narsinghdev Katyuri shifted his capital from Karikeyapur to Baijnath/Baidyanath. Ashokchall captured Katyuri kingdom in 1191AD. The Katyuri kings tried to become free at end of Asokchall kingdom but Krachaldev defused the attack of Katyuri. However, after some years the Katyuris got some territories back.
 There are no sound history records available for Katyuri of Baijnath/Baidyanath. The details of Katyuri kings of different principalities were recorded at later stages of Baijnath Katyuri Kingdom.
 The folklores and available records suggest the Katyuri kings data.

                            Narsinghdev Katyuri king of Asian medieval Period


   The last Katyuri king of Kartikeyapur Narsinghdev shifted his capital from Kartikeyapur to Baidyanath/Baijnath (Kumaon). Most probably, Narsinghdev provided the name for new capital as Baidyanath/Baijnath Kartikeyapur.  The capital is at Gomati River bank, near to Almora and the roads from Someshwar, Bageshwar and Nand Prayag meet here.
  Okley and Gairola suggest that Narsinghdev used the materials from Karvipur for his capital building. Karvipur is supposed to be capital of Paurav kingdom.
  The Katyuri king of Kartikeyapur shifted the capital for a few reasons. However, the seasonal was different here from Joshimath.
         After shifting the capital from Joshimath to Baijnath, the rule over Garhwal became loosened. 
  Rahul suggests 9though less of logic base) that the Tibet king Yeshe-od of Shung-Shung captured parts of Joshimath region but Dr Dabral disagrees at all.
 There is less record available for history features about Baijnath Katyuri king Narsinghdev.

South Asian Medieval History Features of King Pritam Dev Katyuri 

History of Uttarakhand (Garhwal, Kumaon, Haridwar) - Part 122
 
    Medieval   Asian History of Katyuri Imperialism of Baijnath/Baidyanath (Uttarakhand, India) - 3
          (Asian Medieval History of Garhwal, Kumaon, Haridwar, Doti Nepal (Uttarakhand, India))
                          (Asian Medieval History (740-1200 AD)

                                              By: Bhishma Kukreti

  There is no mention of Narsinghdev in any inscription or dynasty record.  The Doti, Askot, and Pali Dynasty record or Family tree (Vanshavali) has similarities but there are no similarities in other dynasty records (Vanshavali)

                                      PritamDev: The Katyuri King of Baijnath
 
                 The Jagar or folk literature describe about PritamDev as Katyuri king. The folk literature provides his ten predecessors but folk songs do not mention Narsinghdev and Kartikeyapur. That shows that Pritam Dev was not direct heir of Nar Singh Dev family.  The Katyuri kings of Kartikeyapur used to get title of ‘ Param Bhattarak Maharajadhiraj Parmeshwar’.

                 In Katyuri kings of Kartikeyapur period, the army chiefs or other higher cadre authorities were called ‘Raja’. However, folk sayings call Pritam as ‘Raja’. That shows or suggests that the forefathers of Pritamdev were high cadre authorities of Katyuri kings of Kartikeyapur. There is not record available about the forefathers or Pritam Dev or Pritam Dev getting crown ship of Katyuri kingdom.
  There is no history record for Pundir kingdom. However, the folk saying describes that Amardev Pundir used to rule over Mayapur Hat.

                         Queen Moladei   
 According to folk saying, Pritam Dev had many queens but did not have child. Childless and quite old aged Pritam Dev married with Moladei the daughter of Amardev Pundir. Amardev married his seven year old daughter with Pritamdev by fear and not by choice. 
            Moladei travelled Badrinath. She performed religious ritual of Narsingh deity at Joshimath and got son as blessing from Narsingh deity. This son was called Dula Dhamdev

Asian Middle Age History Characteristics of Katyuri Kings -Dhamdev and Brahmadev

                                              By: Bhishma Kukreti

                            The Katyuri King Dhamdev
                     Various folk sayings state that Dhamdev was brave person with strength and vigorous courage. Once, in jealousy, his step mother advised his father PritamDev to send Dhamdev for fighting with very brave and dangerous rebellion Jagas (Yaksha) Samva in Patlidun. Dhamdev reached Patlidun. As per advice of Samva, Dhamdev killed his father Pritamdev and became Katyuri King.

                         The Katyuri King Brahmadev

            The three Katyuri family trees suggest that Brahmadev was heir of Dhamdev. There is no literature available about Brahmadev Katyuri. The guess is that Patlidun-Bhabar region were under his Katyuri rule.

South Asian Middle Age History Characteristics of Baijnath Katyuri King – Vir Dev /Beer Dev 
 
History of Uttarakhand (Garhwal, Kumaon, Haridwar) - Part 124
 
    South Asian Middle Age History of Katyuri Imperialism of Baijnath/Baidyanath (Uttarakhand, India) - 5
          (South Asian Middle Age History of Garhwal, Kumaon, Haridwar, Doti Nepal (Uttarakhand, India))- (740-1200 AD)

                                              By: Bhishma Kukreti

             According to legend and analysis by historians suggest that Veer Dev was last Emperor of great Katyuri Kingdom.
     There was disintegration of Katyuri Kingdom after death of Veer Dev Katyuri. No records or inscriptions are found about Veer Dev. Birdev/Beer Dev/Veer Dev/ Virdev/Vir Dev was cruelest Kings in the history of Uttarakhand as cruel as Gorkha rulers. Still, Uttarakhand perform rituals for  Veer Dev as cruel village deity or Ragas.
                       Title of Veer Dev Katyuri in South Asian Middle Age History Context
 ‘Maharajadhiraj’ was the title of Veer Dev Katyuri in folk legends as ‘Maharajan ke raja! pedon par fal-ful ni rahond dina’ . That shows that the major part of Baijnath Katyuri kingdom was intact in Virdev period.

                  Character of Katyuri King Virdev in South Asian Middle Age History Context

               Jagar legends suggest that Veer Dev Katyuri was brave, courageous, active, and obstinate/determined.  Once he decided he would not leave the work half done and used to complete the decided job.  In rage, Katyuri king Beerdev destroyed the high altitude fortes of his chiefs and founded them at low altitude.  It is said in legend that he also grounded hills to change hills into plain. Definitely exaggeration is there in those points.  The folk song is as-
Hankaro tumaro baba ! jis unchaa gadh neechaa banaya
Neecha gadh uncha banaya , mar gadh maidan bnaya
Hankaro tumara baba ..
Tarni tiriya rhon ni dina
Baruni baakri rhon ni dina
        Virdev Katyuri was greedy and used to snatch whatever he liked from his subject. He used to kidnap the girls or women he liked. He used to snatch goats, caws from his subject.
             The Jagar criticized Veer Dev Katyuri for his marrying with maternal aunt Teela as-
‘Mami tile Dhari bola …’
 
          Revenue and Taxation in Vir Dev Katyuri Period in South Asian Middle Age History Context

 The tax was collected in kind as there is no proof of coins. The government emplyess were strict in collecting taxes in kind. They never provided relaxation even in worst time of drought or flood. The following folk saying provides the taxation custom in South Asian Middle Age Katyuri King Virdev –
Banja ghat ki bhag ugauni , banji gai ki doodh chheenee
 The people had to provide tax of flour. The king employees used to filter the flour by seven mats. The tax was given by finest flour sieved through seven mats.
In case of shortage of tax, the king used to seize sons and daughters as slaves.
The king was passionate to get fresh water from Hatchhina spring. People used to stand in line from Hatchhina spring near Kasuani to palace for twelve miles. Then water vassal form spring was transferred from person to person.

                    Death of Veer Dev Katyuri King in South Asian Middle Age History Context


           The king used to fasten iron rings on the shoulders of the litter bearers and pass through them with poles of Dandi or Pinas so that the bearers would not throw him into down valley or precipice. However, the bearers threw him down and also sacrificed their lives for good to all people
 This way the dynasty of this Katyuri branch also ended. However, other branches of Katyuri flourished in Kumaon and parts of present Nepal.
 Period of Baidnath Katyuri Kingdom –
Narsingh Dev, PritmaDev, Dhamdev, Brahmadev and Veer Dev Katyuri – 1000-to 1090 or 1100 AD

Oriental Middle Age History Characteristics of Katyuri King – Tribhuwan Pal Dev

    Oriental Middle Age History of Katyuri Imperialism of Baijnath/Baidyanath (Uttarakhand, India) - 6
          (Oriental Middle Age History of Garhwal, Kumaon, Haridwar, Doti Nepal (Uttarakhand, India))- (740-12500 AD)

                                              By: Bhishma Kukreti

                  Though, the major Katyuri Kingdom disintegrated after Vir Dev Katyuri, yet, other Katyuri families ruled over Doti Nepal, Askot, and other places as Manilashikhar. The Manral caste is definitely Katyuri caste.

       Katyuri King – Tribhuwan Pal Dev   and his Successors in Context Oriental Middle Age History
 Tribhuvanpaldev donated land for Bageshwar temple 
   There was one rock inscription in Baidnath , Kumaon about  Tribhuvanpaldev. The Doti and Askot inscriptions provide the name as Trilokpal the successor of Brahmdev. Kumaon historians Ram Datt Tripathi and Badri Datt Pandey refer the name as Tribhuvanraj Dev.

              Family Tree of Tribhuvanpal Dev or Tribhuvanraj Dev

 Dr. Dabral state the following kings were after Vri Dev Katyuri Tribhuvanpal Dev or Tribhuvanraj Dev
SN.---------King Name ------------------Base for Information ---------------------------App Date
1-----------Tribhuvanpaldev----------------Unpublished inscription ---------------------?
2----------?---------------------------------------Ram Dev Tirpathi -----------------------------?
3---------?---------------------------------------Ram Dev Tripathi  -------------------------------?
4------------Udaypaldev--------------------Unp. Inscriptions ------------------------------------- 1152
5------------ Anantpaldev------------------ Unp. Inscriptions-------------------------------------1181
6------------- Indradev ------------------------Unpb . Copper Inscription------------------------1202
7-------------- Vijaypaldev-----------------------Rahul, Kumaon ----------------------------------1214
8--------------Lakshmanpaldev  -------------------- Unp. Inscriptions --------------------------?
9--------------Ballaldev ------------------------------Krachaldev inscription ---------------------1223
It seems that son and grandson of Tribhuvanpaldev were weak rulers and the regional army chiefs would have captured the territory as kings.

Himalayan Middle Age History Characteristics of Katyuri King –Uday Pal

    Himalayan Middle Age History of Katyuri Imperialism of Baijnath/Baidyanath (Uttarakhand, India) - 7
          (Himalayan Middle Age History of Garhwal, Kumaon, Haridwar, Doti Nepal (Uttarakhand, India))- (740-1250 AD)

                                              By: Bhishma Kukreti

                 There are no folk sayings or records available for son and grandson of Tribhuvanpal Katyuri king. However, inscription provides name of Uday Pal the great grandson of Tribhuvanpal Katyuri.  Rahul Sankritayan guessed crowning of Uday Pal Katyuri in 1152 AD.
                The two important historical events are very crucial in the period of Uday Pal Katyuri rule. The first important event is a person named as Jaytung Singh becoming King of Kumau (Kumaon) and visit by Madhvacharya in Uttarakhand. Jaytung Singh was the first Kumaoni king whose last name ends by Singh. The kingdom of Jaytung Singh was new dynasty in Kumaon. The rock inscription provides the knowledge of three kings of Jaytung Singh dynasty.

Arrival of Madhvacharya in Uttarakhand in  Baijnath Katyuri King time: a Period of Himalayan Medieval Age

                                              By: Bhishma Kukreti
 
                  Arrival of Madhvacharya in Garhwal in Katyuri King –Uday Pal Period

  There is dispute for life span of Madhvacharya or Purn Prajna or Anand Teerth, the founder of Madhav sect of Hindu religion. Some state that his life span is 1118-1197Ad and others refer as 1199-1278. Madhvacharya was chief proponent of ‘Tattvavad’ or philosophy of reality.
   The legends state that Madhvacharya visited Badrikashram twice in his life.
The first visit to Badrikashram by Madhvacharya is supposed to be 1153 AD.
 Madhvacharya desired to visit North India and Badri Ashram after completing his tour of South India. Madhvacharya visited Badrikashram and presented his commentary on Geeta to Sage Vyas.
    Madhavacharya observed complete silence in Badrikashram for 48 days. Daily, he used to take dip in Ganga. 
   Sage Vyas presented Madhavacharya three deity sculptures made by Shaligram stones. Madhavacharya founded these sculptures in Subrahmaniyam, Udipi and Madhyasthal temples.
Madhvacharya did ‘darshan’ of Vyasa and Narayan in Badrikashram. After returning from Badrikashram, Madhvacharya wrote commentary on ‘Brahmsutra’.
 It is said that he visited Badrikashram twice and after second visit to Badri, Madhvacharya wrote Mahbharata-Tatparya –nirnay.

                       Effects of Visit by Madhvacharya
 The effect of visit by Madhavacharya to Badrikashram on religious tourism of Uttarakhand is still visible.

Disintegration of Uttarakhand in Anantpaldev Katyuri Time of Himalayan Medieval Age


History of Uttarakhand (Garhwal, Kumaon, Haridwar) - Part 128
 
    Himalayan Medieval Age History of Katyuri Imperialism of Baijnath/Baidyanath (Uttarakhand, India) - 9
          (Himalayan Medieval Age History of Garhwal, Kumaon, Haridwar, Doti Nepal (Uttarakhand, India))- (740-1250 AD)

                                              By: Bhishma Kukreti

                                           King Anantpaldev Katyuri

           The Dungiri or Drongiri rock inscription (place above Dwarhat, Kumaon) states a king named Anantpaldev. The year is 1238Samvat or 1181 AD. That means king Anantpaldev was the fourth generation king in Tribhuwanpaldev dynasty of Katyuri of Baidyanath.
   At the end of twelfth century around 1175 there was total disintegration of Katyuri kingdom or it might be said this was the period when Uttarakhand was totally disintegrated.

         Separation of Garhwal Region from Katyuri Kingdom

 Before, Anantpaldev Katyuri, Salan Garhwal and Dehradun regions were separated from Katyuri kingdom. At the time of Anantpaldev, there was separation of Nagpur, Pindar and Mayapurhat (Haridwar). The governors of these regions became kings of their own areas.

                                       Rise of Sui Kingdom
   The ambitious soldier Brahmadev founded a small kingdom at lower Kaliganga valley. He built the fort at Suidurg or Sui Kot.

                          Foundation of Dumkot or Donkot Kingdom
      A Rawat army man founded his own kingdom at Domkot or Donkot at the boundary of Suikot.
The rulers of Domkot and SuiKkot used to fight on each and every dispute.
             It is said that a Chandravanshi warrior from Jhunsi (near Prayag/Allahabad) came to Kaliganga valley with a few soldiers. Brahmadev offered him his daughter a land in Champawat. With the help of this Chandravanshi Thakur or warrior, Brahmadev was able to fight his neighbors. It is said the said warrior from Allahabad was the founder of Chand dynasty in Kumaon.
 
                   Khas chieftains becoming Kings
                 
                   Many Khas army chiefs or chieftains of various regions became free from Katyuri kingdom and founded their own kingdoms.

                              Attack by Ashokchall
 
            It seems the Nepali king Ashokchall attacked on Uttarakhand at the time of Anantpaldev and captured whole of Uttarakhand. It seems small kings who became free from Katyuri rule accepted over ruling of Ashokchall
