Mahavansh :
Two Damils, Sen and Guttik, sons of a freighter who brought horses hither,' conquered the king Süratiss, at the head of a great army and reigned both (together) twenty-two years justly. But when Asel had overpowered them, the son of Mutasiv, the ninth among his brothers, born of the same mother, he ruled for ten years onward from that time in Anuradhapur.
Mahavansh / Chapter 23 tells.... King Kakvannatiss caused a guard to hold the Damils in check to be kept continually at all the fords of the Mahäganga. Now the king had, by another wife, a son named Dighabhaya; and he gave the guard near the Kacchak ford into his charge. And to form the guard this (prince) commanded each noble family within a distance of two yojans round (to send) one son thither. Within the district of Kotthivala, in the village of Khandkavitthik, lived the chief of a clan the headman named Samgh who had seven sons. To him, too, the prince sent a messenger demanding a son. His seventh son named Nimil had the strength of ten elephants. ....The king gave him (into the service of) the prince Gamani, and with high honours the warrior Sür Nimil took up his abode with him.

History
of Shursen-Shur :
This is the Chandravanshi Jat gotra which has been well known since the Ramayan period. Sugriv ordered the army of monkeys to go north to Shursen, Bharat (Indraprasth region), Kuru etc. countries (v Kishkindhandak Canto 43) to search for Sita. Shatrughan killed Madhuputra Lavanasur and settled the city of Mathura. His sons Subahu and Shursen ruled Mathura. Shatrughan fully settled the Shursen district and its capital Madhurapuri (Mathura). (V. Uttarakhand Canto 70, 108).
In the Mahabharat period there were two states in his tree. These people were merged into the knowledge union created by Krishna ji. These people participated in the Mahabharat war. After the Mahabharat, they had two teams. The capital of one party was Mathura. A few days later these people made the village of Cincini (maiden name Shurseni) near Deeg their capital. Among these people, Vijaydev made Bayan his capital. Their second community was inhabited between Soron and Bateshwar. The influence and civilization of the Shursen Jats grew so much that the language spoken in northern India was called Shurseni by their name. The Shurseni language is the language spoken from Etawah to Mandsaur and from Palwal to Ratlam. (Jat history Page 132, author Tha Deshraj)
There were 16 Mahajanpads (kingdoms) in India during the Buddhist period, including a Shursen kingdom. These Shur Jats fought the Mughals. The brave warrior Gokul was born in this village of Cincinnati, who fought with Aurangzeb with great valor and courage and was finally caught.
But he refused to become a Muslim and became a martyr. The tribe of the King of Bharatpur was Shursen, which was later called Cincinni or Cincinnavar. All these things will be described in detail in Bharatpur State Chapter.
Today Shurasenas-Sinsinwars tribe Jat Vrij and u p are a large number.
