| SHIVI Shibi, Sibi, Sibi, Shibia, Siba, Sibai / Sibaya, Shivi is a gotra of Jats. Sibia is found in Punjab and Shivi in Uttar Pradesh. Dilip Singh Ahlawat has mentioned it as one of the ruling Jat clans in Central Asia. They are the Sivikas of Fahian. Shaibya princes and daughter of Shibi is mentioned in Mahabharat (I.90.46), (I.90.83).

History
:
The Divyadan refers to the Shvas in Uttarapath with headquarters at Takshshila to which Ashok was deputed by his father Bindusar as Viceroy to quell their rebellion. The name of Savas or Shvas seems to be preserved in in the modern name Chhiba comprising of Punchh, Rajauri and Bhimbhar. In literature Ushinars are often associated with the Sibis (greek - Siboi) whose chief town Sibipur has been identified with Shorkot in Jhang district.
V. S. Agrawala writes that Panini mentions Pura (IV.2.122) ending names of towns like Arishtapur, a city in the kingdom of Shivi in Vahik. V. K. Mathur tells us the location of Shivirashtra at Shorkot in Jhang district of Pakistan.
V. S. Agrawala writes that Panini mentions Pura (IV.2.122) ending names of towns like Sivapur - northern town probably in the Shivi Country.
Ram
Sarup Joon writes....In the eight generation of Krishna was King
Ushinar whose son was Shavi, more popularly known as Shiv Ji. He
married Sati and Parbati and had two sons Ganesh or Ganpati and
Somi Kartik. Ganesh or Ganpati are not names but titles meaning
head of a tribe. Jats have a big Gotra called Shavi. Iran was
once known as Shavi Desh as mentioned by Huen Tsang and Fa Hein
in the account of their travels to India. They have stated
that through Tartar, Kashgar and Pamir they reached Shavi Country.
Shavi is even today remembered in Iran as Prophet Shish. A shrine
on his name is situated on the bank of River Tigris. A province
of Iran was called Shavisthan now known as Seistan.
According to the Greek historians Herodotus and Strabo, Shavis spread into Scandanavia (Scandinavia is a region in northern Europe that includes Denmark, Norway and Sweden, though Finland is often considered a Scandinavian country in common English usage, with Iceland and the Faroe Islands sometimes also included) and settled down there. Their customs and traditions were like those of the Hindus.
The Shavi dynasty prospered well. The Descendants of his dynasty are famous as Takshak, Bachak, Bharhaich, Nags etc. Shavi (shiv) founded the country of Shavisthan (Siestan) in Iran and also the Island of Jatoli. They also founded kingdoms of Turkistan and Scandinavia.
The Shavi rulers constructed the Shorkot fort in Jhang.
In Iran there is a Mausoleum of prophet Shish. Hieun T-sang and Fahien have also called Iran as Shavi country.
Thakur Deshraj writes that The Shivi republic is very ancient and finds mention in Vedas. The Purans write then as descendants of Ushinar. The Buddhist literature has also mentioned about this gan and mention that Tathagat (buddh) once took birth in this gan.
At
the time of invasion of India by Alexander the great, in 326 BCE,
they were found inhabiting area in the vicinity of Malav tribes.
The Greek writers have mentioned them wearing clothes similar to
wild people even during the war. After some time of Alexander's
war, they probably moved to Rajasthan along with Malavs. Thus they
are found moveing from Punjab to Malwa and from their to Rajasthan.
Sibia - They pretended that the Sibæ were descended from the people who accompanied Hercules in his expedition, and that they retained badges of their descent; that they wore skins like Hercules, and carried clubs, and branded with the mark of a club their oxen and mules. The Sibæ, according to Quintus Curtius, who gives them the name of Sobii, occupied the confluent of the Hydaspes and the Acesines. This people appear to have been driven towards the east by one of those revolutions so frequent in all Asia. At least, to the north of Delhi, and in the neighbourhood of Haridwar, a district is found bearing the name of Siba.
H. W. Bellew writes....The Tarin tribe occupies the Sibi and Peshin districts, and is one of the five tribes composing the Sharkhbun division of the Sarabanri Afghan. ....The Tor Tarin, "Black Tarin," inhabit the Peshin valley, having the Achakzi to their north, the Barech to their west, and the district of Shal (Quetta) to their south, whilst on the east they are separated from their Spin Tarin tribesmen by a strip of Kakar territory.
Migration
of Jats from Sapta Sindhu :
Before concluding, we may go into the question of identity of the Teutons and the Swedes. The Teutons were Aryans including High and low Germans and Scandanavians, and to be more specific Goths (Gots, Getae, Jats, Juts), Lombards (Lampaka or Lamba), Normans, Franks (Vrkas, Saxons (Sacae Getae) and Angles[25] The Suevis (Sivis) including the Vilka (Virkas), the Manns (Mans) the Schillers (Chhilller) (Within brackets I gave the Indian names of the tribes.) etc. who, as we shall note (infra), migrated from the Sapta Sindhu to the Scandanavian countries in ancient times, were known as
Svi Thjoth or Sui or (Suiones) Joth[26], (Sivi or Sibi Jat), in archaic Norse, and ultimately as the Swedes. Mr. B.S.Dahiya has assiduously pin-pointed nearly 250 European communities whose names are identified by him with the surnames (gotras) of the Indian Jats. The Sivis were probably earliest migrants as leaders of these tribes. It is these tribes whose anthropological details are given above. In the light of the aforesaid evidence we can reasonably assert that the physical characteristics of the Sivisa (Suevis) and their descendents (the victims of Dasarajna wars, who managed, by hook or by crook, to remain in the Harappan region, cannot be different from those of ones who perforce left the country for good or were deported to their new home in the Scandanavian countries.

Visit
by Xuanzang in 631 AD :
Fa-Hian mentions Su-ho-to as a small district to the south of Udyan. This has generally been identified with the name of Swat ; but from its position to the south of Udyan, and to the north of Parashawar, it cannot have been the large valley of the Swat river itself, but must have been limited to the smaller valley of Bunir. This is confirmed by the legend told by Fa-Hian of the hawk and pigeon ; in which Buddha, to save the pigeon, tears his own flesh and offers it to the hawk. The very same legend is related by Hwen Thsang, but he places the scene at the north-west foot of the Mahaban mountain, that is, in the actual valley of Bunir. He adds that Buddha was then a king, named Shi-pi-kia, or Sivik, which may, perhaps, be the true form of Fa-Hian's Suhoto.
The Shokeen or Shivakhande clan :
According to Hukum Singh Panwar (Pauria), it may, however, be interesting to note that a Jat tribe, living in about 25 contiguous villages in Jind district of Haryana and about 5 villages in Nangloi block of Delhi, goes by its gotra name as Shivakhande or Sheokhand. of late this gotra has been Arabicised as Shokeen in Delhi villages. Yet the elders of Sheokhand Khap area take pride in the fact that they originally hail from the Dharans, whose kingdom was rather misnomered as "Gupta Empire" in Indian history. Be that as it may, one thing is plausible about the Jats of Sheokhande clan. They must be the Sivas who fought against the Bharatas on the Jamuna River in one of the ten Rigvedic wars i.e. Battle of the Ten Kings. They are identified by scholars with the Shivis or the Sibis of the Usinara country in the north of Haridwar near the source of Ganges. The Sivas or Sibis became known as Shivakhande or Sheokhande from and after the Shivaliks, the abode of Lord Shiva, the highest deity of the Jats. Their descent from the Shivalik hills has provided good grounds to the author of Devasamhita to expound this theory.
Shivi Kings :
King Shivi was another great King of this tribe, powerful and generous king. Indra and Agni once tested his generosity by becoming birds when the king gave flesh from his body to fulfil his duty.
The
Sibia Jats :
The famous Shorkot inscription mentions their capital city as Sibipur. The Shorkot mound in Jhang district (Pakistan) is the sight of Sibipur. It was lying between the rivers Ravi and Chenab in the Punjab.
The Greek writers mention them quite often. Arrian mentions them as Sibai. They are also noted by Diodorus. At the time of Alexander's invasion in 326 B.C., they had 40,000 soldiers under arms, ready to fight the Greeks. Arrian records,
"When
the army of Alexander came among the Sibai, an Indian tribe, and
noticed that they wore skins, they declared that the Sibai were
descended from those who belonged to the expedition of Herakles,
(again the connection of Jats with [[Hercules!) and had been left
behind, for besides being dressed in skins, the Sibai carry a cudgel,
and brand on the backs of their oxen, the representation of a club,
wherein the Macedonians recognised a memorial of Herakles."
In India, they first settled on the Chandrabhag (Chenab River|Chenab]]) river and later some of them moved to Rajasthan and even towards south along the Kaveri river. The Shivi Jataka No. 499, mentions their king with two cities, named as Aritthapur and Jettuttara]. The first is mentioned by Ptolemy, as Aristobothra, in the north of the Punjab.[56] The second city Jetuttara is identified by N.L. Dey with Nagri, 11 miles north of Chittor. Alberuni mentions it as Jattararur, capital of Mewar. A number of their coins have been found near Chittor, at Madhyamik, and the legends on these coins are "Majhamikay Sivijanapadas", i.e., coins of the republic of the Sivis of Madhyamik (Chittor).
[p.79]: The democratic nature of their rule is further indicated by Vassantara Jatak, which shows that the king of the Sibis, banished his own son, Vassantar in obedience to the demand of his people.
The Mahabharat refers to a Sibi-rashtra (country of the Sibis) ruled by king Usinar. According to Pargiter Sivi son of Ushinar not only originated the Sibis, but also extended his conquests in the whole of the Punjab, through his four sons, named Urisadarbh, Suvir, Kekaya and Madrak who founded the kingdoms named after their names. It was after the names of Suvir and Madrak, that the people of Punjab were called in the Purans, as Sauvirs and Madraks. The Sibis also migrated to the extreme south of India. The Dash Kumar Charitam refers to a settlement of the Sibis on the Kaveri river. Varahamihir in his Brihatsamhita mentions a Sivik country in the south. H.C. Ray Chaudhuri identifies the southern Sibis with the Chola ruling family.
Historian Bhim Singh Dahiya has provided proofs of Sivis being Jats. The first proof is of course the name itself. Sibi or Sivi, is the original name of their ancestor and Sibiya/Sibia is derivative meaning the descendants of Sibi. This clan name is only found in the Jats and in no other population group of India. These Sibia Jats are still existing. Shri Gurbax Singh Sibia, ex-minister in Punjab Cabinet was a scion of this ancient clan. The second proof is in the name of their city - Jattararur (Chittor) - which is based on the word Jatta-city of Jats. Incidentally, this is another proof of the fact that Mewar was under the Jats for very long time. Hence the names of its cities like Jaisalmer, Sikar, Sirohi, etc. The last two are names of the Jat clan also.
The Buddhist Sibi Jatak (No. 499) contains their history and legends, and Vesantar Jatak, is named after a son of Sibia King of Jattaraur (Chittor). Their capital in Punjab was Sibipur (Modern Shorkot) Rig Ved mentions the Sibi people and Baudhayana Srauta Sutra mentions, their king, Usinar, whom Indra saved from foreign aggression. They are the Sibai of Arrian and Siboi, of Deodorus.
Dr Pema Ram writes that after the invasion of Alexander in 326 BC, the Jats of Sindh and Punjab migrated to Rajasthan. They built tanks, wells and Bawadis near their habitations. The tribes migrated were: Shivis, Yaudheyas, Malavas, Madras etc. The Shivi tribe which came from Ravi and Beas rivers founded towns like Sheo, Sojat, Siwana, Shergarh, Shivganj etc. This area was adjoining to Sindh and mainly inhabited by Jats. The descendants of Shivi in Rajasthan are: Seu, Shivran, Shivral, Sihot, Sinwar, Chhaba etc.

Shivi
and Jat Union :
* Some consider Shakambhari, the Sambhar Lake, the capital of King Yayati, which is currently on the border of Jaipur-Jodhpur.
[ P.92 ]: Mahasheel 13. Mahamana 14. Ushinar, second son of Mahamana and 15. Shivi, son of Ushinar. The legend of the famous Dani Maharaj Shivi is familiar to the entire Hindu caste. * ISA 326 years ago when Biswvijeta Alexander had invaded India, at that time Shivi people Mallon lived in the neighborhood. In connection with their splendor at that time, Alexander's comrades wrote: "That they had 40,000 infantry." Some people have described the current Sherkot of Punjab as their capital. † We find a description of their spread in 3 places. Initially, Mansarovar was inhabited in the lower part. Then it spread to North-East Punjab. Then these people of sivi of Punjab reached Chittor in Rajputana. Where his Madhyamik was the capital in the city. His coins have also been received from here on which it is written - 'Majjhim Nikaya Shiv Janpads' The second community crosses their Tibet which is famous there as Shiyuch . Many historians say that the Kushan people were a branch of the Shiyuchi caste.
[ P.93 ]: Maharaj Kanishk was the king of Kushan caste. The third party grows with their other Jats in Europe. They are mentioned in both Scandinavia and Jatland. Tsits, Ptolemy, Pinkerton these three say that- "Jatland had 6 species of Jat people". Which Suavi, Kimbri Hemendrai and Katti includes who had Elv and had spread to the wager rivers. There he put a stup named Imarnashule after the god of war. ”Buddhists" say that Lord Buddh Tathagat was born once among the Shivi people. The worship of Har-Gauri and Prithvi was prevalent among these people. The president of the Sangh was called Ganpati and Ganesh. All the small branches that they had, had joined the nation.
In the beginning, the Sivi people had to fight fiercely against the Daksh people in India. His commander named Virbhadra became famous only because of the demolition of Dakshnagar. Once there was a home dispute in these. Whose settlement was done in such a way that the head of the Hasti branch had to unanimously elect him head of Parliament. * It appears that
* This story is described in great detail in the Purans. The people of the Hasti clan settled behind the banks of the Kabul River. His Hastinagar nowadays is called Nyast and Nyas.
[ P.94 ]: All the Sivi Sangh people joined the union of the Sivi Sangh people when it was transformed into a caste nation. It is also true that Nag people also belong to the same branch of Shiv people. Because Poonia Jats say that we are Adi Jats and were born from the jati of Shiv. There is no doubt that the number of Shiv Jats was once too many. Because in Alexander's time, they had only 40 thousand infantry. If we make a soldier even after ten men, then in this way they are 4 lakh and while their two big groups went towards China and Europe. If all the camp Jats are counted by themselves, then they can prove to be close to 10 lakhs.
Perhaps some people would say 'It was believed that Shivi was a great and prosperous caste in India, but how to believe that any Shivi people were Jats'? We answer this based on both evidence and legend.
(1) The first legend is that the Jats are among the jatas of Shiv. That is, the Shiv people were Jats.
(2) Jats are among Shiv's gans i.e. republican Shivis were Jats.
(3) The chief of Jat was created by Shiv, its real belief is that there are major camps in 'Jat-nations'.
These legends are not considered as our meanings, yet even then, based on these legends, one has to accept that some of the Jats and camp people
[P.95]: There is no relation at all. We say that the relationship is that the people were Jats. Take proof for this as well. In a book titled " Tribes and Casts of the North Western Provinces and Awadh ", Mr. W. Crook sahab writes :
The Jats of the south-eastern provinces divide them selves into two sections - Shivgotri or of the family of Shiv and Kashypgotri.
That is, the Jats of the southern eastern provinces divide themselves into two parts - Shivgotri or descendants of Shiv and Kashyap Gotri.
A similar thing Col. Tod also quotes the famous historian Tacitus : - " In the land of Skandanabh there used to be a great caste called Jat. The clan of this caste had many branches. In those branches, Shaivites and Camp people. Had a special reputation."
The ancient Hindu writers have also written to the Shiv people by using Shival and shaiva. Many of these chiefs are very majestic.
Jain-Buddhist-religious, non-Aryan Malech and religious-inferior noun were called. If Shiv in relation to race even remembered these words in their religious texts is not surprising. When some of the groups of republicans have joined Hinduism, it is very likely that they have included the worship of their revered Ganesh to their delight. Our statement is also confirmed by the fact that the practice of Ganapati-worship is more in the state of Maharashtra and it is a well-known fact that the Marathas were initially republicans. Pt. Satavalekar considered the Marathas to be Nagavanshi. Nag was not a monarchist but a democrat. Our topic is only about Jata and Jat. We have had to do such a detailed description of this so that people leave the belief of the unscientific thing about the origin of Jats from the jat of Shivji and understand the real history.
There is a legend in the Purans that there was a king named Shiv. When the discussion of his kindness reached heaven, Devraj Indra and Yam took the form of Shyen (hawk) and Kapot to test him. Shyen followed the pigeon. Running away, Kapot hid in the lap of the camp. Shyen came and pleaded for the cloth from the camp and said that it is my food item. I have been hungry for many days. Today, I have received it with a lot of luck in many days. If you don't give it to me, then my life will go away. The king said that he has come in my shelter, I will not give it. But you can tell some kind of strategy that can save your life too. Shyen did not say if you weigh your flesh like a pigeon, I will agree. The king ordered the tula and placed the pigeon in one pan and cut his flesh in the other. But even after cutting the whole body flesh, it did not rise. Finally the king himself started sitting in the pan. On seeing this religious climax of the king, Indra himself appeared and made the body of the king undone.
That narrative Buddhist Scripture Shivijatk is written in such a way that - Bodhisattva means was born a king at a time Shivi country (king's Ganapathy - Author). The king was very generous and generous. He had established many danshalas and dharmasatras in his kingdom. No petitioner turned away from the king, he used to give generously to the afflicted. Seeing his generosity, Devraj Indra's posture was shaken. He went to his capital in the form of a blind Brahmin to test the king's charity. The king was sitting in his assembly. The blind Brahmin said -
By the order of Indra, I have come to ask you eye. I hope and hope that you will succeed them. The king agreed to throw his eyes out. Even after refusing the ministers' lac, Vaidya got his one eye removed and gave it to him. The Brahmin put that eye in the place of his eye. The king was very happy to see her with one eye and gave the other eye to her. After a few days Indra came to the blind king and said - Ask me whatever you want. The king said -
That is, O Indra! I have all the strength, money, but because of being blind, I cannot see the face of the petitioners, so I ask for death. Indra said - Blessed! Even after getting this condition, you want to see the petitioners. The king expressed anger at Indra's words and said -
If I love the blessings of the petitioners, then let me have one eye live now. The king's eye was undone as soon as he said this. Again the king said -
If I have given both my eyes cheerfully on the demand of one eye, then the other eye should also be intact. The king said that the second eye was as it was. Then the whole earth shivered, the gods in the sky started playing Dundubhi. By giving this blessing to Devraj Indra King, call him sage-monk.
I give these two eyes. You will see the mountain going by for a hundred years and your sighting power will be depleted.
This place of Maharaj Shivi was after the seven-day journey from Peshawar to the other side of the Sindh river. Here King Ashok built a vihar and a stup to commemorate him. It is also known from the Jatak texts that King Shivi was born before Lord Buddh. In this way the existence of the Shiv caste is found before the Buddhist period. Around this time is the establishment of Jat-Sangh and joining the Jat-Sangh of different dynasties is called Jat. In the Shivi caste, which is a part of this great Jat caste, many famous kings were born, whom we will describe at the place. Since camp caste jat -union I had joined, even after many generations, for those who came from the camp, remember that their ancestors were called camps. But they have completely forgotten that Shiv was not the name of any one man but the name of the caste. That is why they considered themselves descendants of Shiv, the mythical Mahadev. But the question of how he got the name of Jat as a descendant of Shiv, with the same wisdom that he must have been born of Jati of Shivji. Because there was also a mythological story in front of them that Shivji created some men from Jata who were Virbhadra and were called Ganadik. However, this story is also very possible against the Republic, instead of the political institutions of the Ganas, it was designed to tell religious men and to cover the reality. This is the basis and reason for the legend of Shiva being born out of Jata in relation to Jats.
Jats
going abroad :
A nation of all Yadu whether they banquet, Shur, andhak, Vrishni, Dshaarn are called Yadu. Similarly, all the Kurus should be one caste nation ; Panchal, Paurava, Gandhar, Madra, Pandav all together form a union. But what can anyone say when Kuru people and Yadav people were destroyed by fighting among themselves. If the Panchajan of Vedo:, called, Yadu , Kuru , Puru, Etc., if they were organized, today only Vedic righteous would appear in the whole world. But they fought, fought a lot. We fought for centuries, not one or two years. This is the reason that many groups had to leave the country and wander abroad. Which family outside India (outside of that big India which includes Kabul, Kandahar, Udyan and Mansarovar) When we are gone, we will tell it in a book called 'Jat Shahi' or Jat kingdom abroad. Here only a few families have to be mentioned.
Seeing the attack of two plagues on the Jat-nation of Dwarka together, the mutual war of the Yadavs in Prabhas region and the sinking of Dwarka into the water. So naturally the remaining Jats had to move to find another place. The Pandavs took Vajra and made him the king of Mathura. But Lord Krishna himself had 17 sons from eight Patranis. The Purans tell 80800 sons from other Ranis. Well, we take 17 as the right thing. Two of these four will be children. These people could not move towards East-South. Because the empire was growing from the south. On the other hand, the population was also considerable. Therefore, the west moved north.
On the other hand, after giving the kingdom of Indraprastha to Parikshit even among the Pandavs, many sons of Bhim, Nakul, Sahdev remain. Self Yudhisthir arise from Yudeyi Queen of Yudey the rest. So they too had to move northwest to find new countries. If we try to filter the truth from the descriptions of Harivansh, Yadav Digvijay and Mahabharat and Purans, then we know that the garden above Peshawar.
Where the throne or Bhim's is there, Bhim 's sons were settled. And till the coming of the Mughals, they lived there with joy from generation to generation. Bheem's melting is considered right there. Yudhisthir companion had read shores of Caspian Sea they are known as Yudey the Dey, and in the language of Greek authors (Dahae) De and Dhaye. Some people started saying Xanthoi like this. This word is an abortion of Jat Yudhyaya, which has become Xanthoi only by language distinction. In Strabo and Herodotus etc. have considered Indian Jats as foreigners, only due to the dahae people. At the time of the insistence of Islam, there is a group of them who came to India and settled again, which is nowadays famous by the name Dhe. A group of Yudhyas initially remained in Punjab, which is nowadays known as Johiya.
A group of camps left the udyan and reached the eastern border of China, which in the language of the place came to be called Shyuichi. The Kushan people were a branch of the Shyuchi (Shivichi) people who have also been remembered by the name Turk because of settling in the Ottoman country. In fact, it was just like the Parsis living in Mumbai are Hindustani. That is, there were no Turks with blood, although according to the Purans, Turk (Turushk) is the child of Yaduvanshi.
In the first century of Christ, they again migrated to India and made Purushpur or Peshawar their capital.
There is a yard in Yaduvansh. According to Jain mythology, Gaj was the son of Krishna. His companions populated Ghazni. Many of the Jats of Bhati, Garhwal, Kuhar, Maan, Dalal, etc. are returned from Garh Ghazni.
A group of Shivais from udyan to Iran. There they settled a city called Shivsthan, which is now called Sisatan.
Thakur Deshraj wrote .... Afghanistan in Shivi and Kurram two districts, which Shivi and worm Jats were famous name. There is also a Hal mountain named after Hal Jats, also called as Somagiri.
Udyan,
camps in the Caspian Sea :
Shivi Dynasty - In the beginning these people had a state in Udyan. It is popularly known today as Massagatai, which is the region on the western side of the Caspian Sea, which irrigates and tributes the Kur river. This was a province in the country of Sithia. The Jats have a great power here. A contingent of Camps moved towards Europe and arrived in Scandinavia. The second party reached Iran from India where they ruled the Shakdweep (which is to the north of Iran). These people established a city called Shivasthan which is today Sistan. It is called. Sistan which is located in the east of Iran and southwest of Afghanistan. Jat History English Translation Page 36, 101 Author Ramsarup June wrote that in 2000 BC, the Jats of the Shivi tribe established a kingdom on the province of Sistan in Iran. Chinese travelers Fahyan and Hyuntsang have also called Iran a Sivi country.
A king named Tomrishi of Shivi tribe ruled the southern region of Amu Darya. His capital was the Udyan. In the sixth century BCE, he fought with the famous Persian emperor Cyrus, on the eastern region of Khorasan, in which Cyrus had to face defeat and returned.

History
of Shivi :
In the early India (Vedic period), the people of India had to fight fiercely against the Daksh king in India. Virbhadra was his commander who became famous only after killing Daksh and destroying Dakshnagar (Kankhal). 326 years before Christ, when the world conqueror Alexander invaded India, the camp was inhabited by the Malavs (Mallas). In connection with their splendor at that time, Alexander's companions have written that they had forty thousand infantry. In Sivi camp the Jats fought Sikandar's army with great valor. Some people have described the current Sherkot (Z. Jhang) of Punjab, which is in Pakistan, as their capital. Maharishi Patanjali has also described this dynasty. He had a good position in the Buddhist period. Buddhists say that Lord Buddh was also born once among the Shivi people. Shivi Jatak and description of travel of Sungyn states that Shivi state visit is seven days from Peshawar after this, person can cross Sindhu is fixed where the construction of a stup and vihar by the emperor Ashoka is there in memory of Maharaj Sivi is also revealed.
We get to describe the expansion of Sivi people in three places :
1.
Initially these people were inhabited from Hardwar to the hills
of Shivalik and lower part of Mansarovar. Then it spread to North-East
Punjab. These camps of Punjab reached Chittor in Rajputana where
their capital was Madhyamik Nagari. Their coins have also been received
from here on which it is written - Majjhim Nikaya Shiv Janpdas.
There were many branches. Shaivs and Shiv people had a special reputation in those branches. ”The ancient authors of the Hindus have also written Shiv people by shaivals and Shaivas.
In the Sikh Jats of Punjab, the Kshatriyas of Shivhote Dal belong to the Shiv Vansh. In Jalandhar district, Chakradeshraj, Bada Pind, Chhoti Rudka, Chaksah, Pisauri are big villages of this dynasty.
Branch gotras of Shiv dynasty are - 1. Shivhote 2. Tevatia 3. Bhatounia.
Confronted
Jat kings in Alexander's return :
Alexander's army withdrew to the Jehlum River by the same route from which it had come. Then his soldiers went by way of Jehlum river to Sindh province and Balochistan. But the way back was not easy. The Jats fought with Alexander's army on foot. At that time, the Jats of Malav (Malloi), Shivi, Madra and Chudrak gotra in southern Punjab fought fiercely against Alexander's forces and wounded Sikandar. In many places, the Jats put their children into war and fought fiercely with full power against the Greeks.
In the war with the Malav-Malla Jats, Alexander realized that conquering India was not an easy game. Regarding the Malav Jats, Greek writers have written that "they were numerous and more valiant than all other Indian castes."
The Sindh province was then ruled by the Jat king Musaksen, whose capital was Alor. When Alexander passed through his kingdom, he fought fiercely with the Greek army. There was another Jat kingdom ahead of it. The Jats also fought the Greeks.
When Sikandar's army reached the Indus River from Sindh province, it was the same king Musaksen (Mushikan) who made him cross the river by his ships.
When Alexander reached Balochistan with his army, the Jat king Chitravarma, whose capital was Kalat, fought with Alexander.
The Jats wounded Sikander several times in the war at different places. He was on his way from Balochistan to his country but died in 323 BC on the way to Babylon (on the Tigris River in Iraq) on the way due to wounds. He was 33 years old at the time.
On his return from India, Alexander divided his conquered kingdom into Porus and Ambi and made Phillips the governor of Sindh province. But in 6 years, in 317 BC, the kingdom of Greeks from India was abolished and the rule of Maurya-Maur Jats started. It is described in chapter five.
Bodh
Katha: Eye donation of Raja Shivi :
After the death of the king, he became the king and began to rule in righteousness. He built six dasnshala at the four gates of the fort, in the center of the city and at the entrance of the Raj Bhavan, in which he used to spend six to seven thousand currencies daily and get donations. The king used to visit the danshala on the day of Ashtami, Chaturdashi and Poornima.
Once on the full moon day in the morning of Purnima, he was sitting on the throne under the white umbrella. He started thinking, "There is no external substance that I have not donated, but donating external material does not make content and happiness happy." I would like to donate my personal items. What good would it be if I go to the charity house today and if any of the petitioners does not ask me for anything external, take personal things like my king's body, body flesh, blood or my eye.
Thinking this, the king went towards the charity. Shakra Dev came to know about thought in the king's mind that, "Raja Shivi thinks of giving the donor a donation today, will he be able to give it?" Shakra disguised an old, blind Brahmin to test him and arrived in the charity. The king stood on a high place, raised his hand and asked, "What does this Brahmin say?"
He said, "Maharaj! The fame of your donation has touched all the people. I am blind and you have two eyes. The old man who lives far away has come to ask for an eye. I'm asking, give me an eye. Both will become one-eyed. ''
On hearing this, the Bodhisattva king Shivi thought in his mind, "Now I was thinking sitting in the palace. This is so good. Today my wish will be fulfilled. I would give such a donation as never before. "The Bodhisattvas were very happy thinking this and they said,"Whom have you come here to ask for eyes, you are asking for the best eyes that can be given with difficulty, the eye which all people say is worthy to be given with difficulty.''
Hearing this, Shakra replied, "which is called sujampati in heaven and madhva in human world." I have come to ask for his eyes. I am a petitioner, give me the best donation when I ask for my eyes. Give me the best eyes, the eye donation that people can barely give.
On hearing this, the Bodhisattva king Shivi said, "O Brahmin! Whatever you have come for, whatever you wish for, your resolutions should be fulfilled. Hey Brahmin! Get the eyes. You ask for one, I give you both. Go in front of people's eyes with your eyes, whatever you want, may your wish be fulfilled.''
The Bodhisattva king Sivi thought that it would not be appropriate to throw eyes here. He thought it appropriate to lay eyes in the palace. The king went to the palace at the same time and sat on the Rajasan and called a Raj Vaidya named Sewak and said, "Take out my eyes."
Hearing this, all the palace and the city was carved out that the king wanted to take his eyes and donate to the Brahmin. Then the generals, ministers, queens, civilians and inner people gathered and requested the king, "O God! Do not donate eyes Do not leave us all. Give lots of money like diamonds, jewels, pearls, gold and silver etc. Hey, God! Give the chariot while alive. Please give the decorated horses. King! Give elephants adorned with gold-clothes. Just like all the people of our Shivi camp surround you with their cars and chariots- O Rajan! Donate like this.
Even at the behest of the generals, ministers, queens, civilians, etc., Raja Shivi did not listen to anyone and ordered Rajavadya Sewak to remove his eyes. Through Sewak, the king donated to the Brahmin by getting eyes through herbs and keeping them in his hands. Impressed by this greatest eye donation of the Bodhisattva of Shivi camp, Shakra Dev appeared in his true form and was pleased that he fixed the eyes of the Bodhisattva king camp as before.
