Arrival of Shankaracharya in Garhwal, Uttarakhand in Asian Medieval History Period 

History of Uttarakhand (Garhwal, Kumaon, Haridwar) - Part 119
 
   Early Medieval   Asian History of Katyuri Imperialism of Kartikeyapur in Kumaon, Garhwal and Haridwar (Uttarakhand, India) -30
 
          (Early Asian Medieval History of Garhwal, Kumaon, Haridwar, Doti Nepal (Uttarakhand, India))
                          (Early Asian Medieval History (740-1100 AD)

                                              By: Bhishma Kukreti

                                            Jagadguru   Adi Shankaracharya
                Shankaracharya was born in 788AD in Kalti, Kerala, South India. Shankaracharya left his body in 820 AD In Kedarnath. His father name was Shivguru Nambudari and mother’s name was Vishistha or Sati.  His father expired in his childhood. Shankaracharya became ascetic in childhood. He was so brilliant that at the age of 12, he started promoting Vedanta. Shankar is famous for his philosophy of Adwaitvad.
          Shankar is also famous for writing comments on Geeta and other Sankhya philosophy. 
           Shankaracharya established four major Maths (Dham) in India –Jagannath Dhampuri (East), Dwarikadham, Rameshwardham and Badrikashram for Hindu reforming.

 
     Rivalry among Religious Sects in Shankaracharya Period of in Asian Medieval History Era   

                  There was rivalry among various religious sects in India for centuries. Buddhism grew with speed in Maurya period. However, later on the decline in Buddhism also started. The Kings used to be major patrons of any religious sect.  There was tradition of building temples or worshipping places where other sect’s temples are built by all sects.  Building temples nearby temples of other sect is as today, brands put hoardings nearer by rival brand hording. At the time of Shankaracharya, Buddhism was on decline. Shankaracharya reformed Hindu or Sanatan sects. 

                     Arrival by Shankaracharya in Uttarakhand

               After establishing three Dhams or Maths in Kanyakumari, Jagannath and Dwarika, Shankaracharya came to Rishikesh. He heard in Rishikesh that the priests of Badrikashram threw Vishnu sculpture at Alaknanda River bank into Narad Kund because of fear from Tibetan looters. Shankaracharya came to Badrikashram, Shankaracharya brought back Vishnu  sculpture in Khandit avstha(broken state) and he reestablished the Vishnu sculpture in Badrikashram temple.
       In Shrinagar Garhwal, Shankaracharya came to know that there is animal sacrifice tradition at Shri Yantra (Sacred Instrument) Thau place (Today-Shriyantra Tapu).  Shankaracharya stopped the animal sacrifice at Shriyantra Thau.
          There is Vyas cave near Badrikashram (above Mana village). Shankar wrote commentaries on Brahmasutra, Geeta and major Upnishads in Vyas Gufa.
  After finishing commentaries, Shankar came to Gangotri. It is said that he met Vyasa there and Vyasa was pleased to see commentaries.
  At later stage of his life, Shankar came to Kedar Mountain. Shankar left his body at Kedarashram or Kedarnath. A hill shrine between Gangotri and Kedarnath is called ‘Shankar Shikhar’.

                            Ritual Tradition in Badrikashram

          Badrikashram or commonly called Badrinath was a famous and most auspicious, sacred place in Mahabharata era too. The epic Mahabharata was edited long before Gupta Period. There are sizable descriptions of Badrikashram in Mahabharata.  There is mention of rituals in the sacred place or temple.  The Dev Prayag inscriptions and Harshacharit suggest that there were regular rituals in Badrikashram temple. The pilgrims from all corners of India used to visit Badrikashram.  There is no mention of Badrikashram in Paurav inscriptions but there is mention of Badrikashram in Katyuri inscriptions. That shows that the Tibetan looters used to loot the jewels etc from the temple. Yashovarman pushed back Tibetan invaders and Katyuris too protected Badrikashram from Tibetan invasion.

            According to local folk sayings and other sources as Baldev Upadhyaya , Shankaracharya reestablished ritual system in Badrikashram temple. Shankaracharya also established ritual system in Jyotirmath (Joshimath) and Pandukeshwar.
 It is said that Shankaracharya established images of Nar, Narayan, Ganesh Shiva, and Shakti in the Badrinath temple and Jyotirmath.



       Trotkacharya Shishya Parampara or Priest System for Ritual Performance in Badrikashram

            Shankaracharya established certain norms for ritual performances and worshipping practices in Badrinath, Pandukeshwar and Joshimath.
         Shankaracharya handed over the ritual practices management of Badrikashram temple to his disciple Totakacharya. From Shankaracharya to 1220 AD, the disciples of Totakacharya were the priests of Badrinath temple and Jyotirmath.
तोटको विजय : कुमारो गरुड़ ध्वज :I
विन्ध्यो विशालो बकुलो वामन : सुन्दरोअरुण :II
श्री निवास : सुखानन्दो विद्यानंद : शिवो गिरी :I
 विद्याधरो  गुणानन्दों  नारायण : उमापति :II
एते ज्योतिर्मठाधीस : आचार्याश्चिर्जीवन : 
 The Totakacharya disciple priests were as follows
1-Totakacharya (820 or around)
2-Vijaya Acharya
3- Krishna Acharya
4-Kumar Acharya
5- Garuddhwaja Acharya
6-Vindhya Acharya
7-Vishal Acharya
8-Vakul Acharya
9-Vaman Acharya
10-Sundararun
11-Shri Nivas Acharya
12- Sukhanand Acharya
13- Viadyanand Acharya
14-Shiv Acharya
15-Giri Acharya
16-Vidyadhar Acharya
17- Gunanand Acharya
18- Narayan Acharya
19- Umapati Acharya (2120 AD)
 Rawal as priests came in scene quite late.
          Shankaracharya accelerated Religious Tourism in Uttarakhand 

               Due to reestablishing Badrikashram, Kedarnath and Gangotri Dham, Shankaracharya brought back the religious tourism with bang in Uttarakhand.
 Shankaracharya also wrote simple Prarthaneyen /prayers for many deities and goddesses.

ब इतिहासकार डा.  शिव प्रसाद डबराल को "कुमाऊं का  इतिहास" प्रकाशन हेतु  भूमि बेचनी पड़ी



                  भीष्म कुकरेती

आज स्वतन्त्रता दिवस है तो आज हमारे मनीषियों के योगदान -बलिदान स्मरण होना भी आवश्यक है।
अपनी जन्म भूमि के आत्माभिमान के लिए त्याग भी स्वतंत्रता आन्दोलन जैसा ही ही है। अपने इतिहास को अक्षुण रखना भी एक सामजिक उत्तरदायित्व है । डा शिव प्रसाद डबराल का उत्तराखंड के इतिहास को लिखने में अत्यंत महत्वपूर्ण योगदान है ।
 डा शिव प्रसाद डबराल ने उत्तराखंड के सभी क्षेत्रों का इतिहास पर अन्वेषण किया और उसे लिपिबद्ध  किया । इन कार्यों के लिए उन्हें कई कष्ट भी सहने पड़े ।

कुमाऊँ का  इतिहास (1000 -1790 ई ) की भूमिका में डा शिव प्रसाद डबराल इस प्रकार लिखते हैं -
 " छै वर्षों तक सूरदास बने रहने के कारण लेखन कार्य रुक गया था ।प्रकाशन कार्य में निरंतर घाटा पड़ने से प्रेस (वीर गाथा प्रेस ) बेच देना पड़ा ।ओप्रेसन से ज्योति पुन: आने पर  चला कि दरजनो फाइलें , जिसमें महत्वपूर्ण नोट्स थे , शायद रद्दी कागजों के साथ फेंक दी गईं हैं । कुमाऊँ का इतिहास भी गढ़वाल के इतिहास के समान ही छै सौ पृष्ठों में छपने वाला था ।इस बीच कागज़ का मूल्य  छै गुना और छपाई का व्यय १६ गुना बढ़ गया था ।छै सौ पृष्ठों का ग्रन्थ छपने के लिए 35000 रुपयों की आवश्यकता थी ।इतनी अधिक राशि जुटाना सम्भव नही था । 76 की आयु में मनुष्य को जो भी करना हो तुरंत कर लेना चाहिए ।दो ही साधन थे ।भूमि बेच देना और पांडू लिपि को संक्षिप्त करना ।अस्तु मैंने कुछ राशि भूमि बेचकर जुटाई तथा कलम कुठार लेकर पांडुलिपि के बक्कल उतारते उतारते उसे आधा , भीतरी , 'टोर' मात्र बना दिया । किसी 'चिपको वाले 'मित्र ने मुझे इस क्रूर कार्य से नही रोका ! "

Asian Medieval History Features of King Narsinghdev Katyuri Kingdom

History of Uttarakhand (Garhwal, Kumaon, Haridwar) - Part 121
 
    Medieval   Asian History of Katyuri Imperialism of Baijnath/Baidyanath (Uttarakhand, India) - 2
          (Asian Medieval History of Garhwal, Kumaon, Haridwar, Doti Nepal (Uttarakhand, India))
                          (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

    Asian Middle Age History of Katyuri Imperialism of Baijnath/Baidyanath (Uttarakhand, India) - 4
          (Asian Middle Age History of Garhwal, Kumaon, Haridwar, Doti Nepal (Uttarakhand, India))- (740-1200 AD)

                                              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   
 
History of Uttarakhand (Garhwal, Kumaon, Haridwar) - Part 125
 
    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

History of Uttarakhand (Garhwal, Kumaon, Haridwar) - Part 126
 
    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.
