| TAKSHAK Taxak, Takshak, Tokas, Tokas, Togas, Taksham is Jat Gotra, who are found in India, Pakistan and Central Asia. They are found in Delhi, Haryana, Punjab and Rajasthan[8] states in India. James Tod places it in the list of Thirty Six Royal Races. The Takshaks or Takiuks of Scythia, invaded India about six centuries before Christ.
Origin
:
Genealogy of Suryavansh They are said to be descended from Nagavanshi king named Taxaka.
Branches of Nagavansh are - 1. Vasati / Bains 2. Taxak 3. Aulak 4. Kalkal 5. Kala / Kalidhaman / Kalkhande 6. Meetha 7. Bharshiv 8. Bharaich.
Regarding the origin of the Taxak Jats various theories have been propounded by the authors of history. They are summarized herein under. Alexander Cunningham states :
“According to the Mahabharat and the Purans, the Takshaks were the descendants of the Takshak, one of the many sons of Kasyapa by his Naga wife Kadru. Other sons were called Naga, Karkotaka, Vasuki, Sesha, Mahapadma, &c., all of whom were equally regarded as kings of the serpents, while their names are used quite indiscriminately to designate the ophite race. Thus Nagas Karkotakas, and Takshakas are all names of but one and the same people. As descendants of Kadru, they are also called Kudravas and Kadraveyas. This name I find upon three very old cast coins in my own possession, given in its pali form as Kadasa. The coins are of two different types, but in all the specimens the name is accompanied by the figure of a snake. This pictorial illustration of the name seems to me quite sufficient to prove that these coins must belong to the ophiolatrous race of Kadravas, and as the coins were obtained in the Western Punjab, while the characters are similar to those of Asoka’s inscriptions, they may be attributed with much confidence to the early Takkas of Takka-desa.”
History
:
Ram Swarup Joon writes In the Sabha Parv, Mahabharata / Book II Chapter 48, while describing various Kings who attended a ceremony in the Durbar (court) of Maharaja Yudhisthira, seventeen names are mentioned which are today found as Jat gotras. These are Malhia, Mylaw, Sindhar, Gandhar, Mahity, Mahe, Savi, Bath, Dharan, Virk, Dard, Shaly, Matash, Kukar (Khokar) Kak, Takshak, Sand, Bahik (Bathi) Bije (Bijenia), Andhra, Sorashtra (Rathi) Mann, Ar, Sohat, Kukat, Othiwal (Othval).
The Shavi dynasty :
Ram Sarup Joon writes....One branch of Shavi Gotra is Takshak. Before the Mahabharat, they ruled the area of present Delhi, which was then known as Khanduban. Their capital was known as Khand Prastha. When Dharat Rashtra divided his kingdom into two, Yudhishtra selected Khand Prastha as his capital, named it Indraprastha and started constructing palaces and forts. Takshaks opposed this project, refused to vacate the area and tried to demolish the buildings at night. This led to war. Pandavas defeated the Takshaks, destroyed their villages and drove them out of this area. Consequent upon this incident in the Mahabharat, Takshaks joined Duryodhana’s army and fought against the
Pandavs. A Takshak warrior killed king Parikshit, a grandson of Yudhishtr. These facts are mentioned in Adi Parv of Mahabharat.
At present, there are five villages of Takshak Jats in this area viz. Mohammed Pur, Manirka, Shahpura, Haus Khas and Katwaria.
On being driven out of Khanduban, the Takshaks drifted North west and made their new capital at Takshala or Taxila, This view is confirmed in ‘A Guide to Taxila’. The Takshaks also founded Takshkand later known as Tashkand or Tashkent and Takshasthan later known as Turkistan. The Takshaks of Taxila later adopted the abbreviated title of Taki and are still found in that area as Muslim Jats of Taki Gotra or clan. When Mudrak Raja Subhagsen of Ghazni was driven east by the Iranians, he also had to fight a battle with Takis of Taxila.
The rulers of Magdha of the Shesh Nag Dynasty were Takshak Jats. Todd writes that they ruled Mugdha for six hundred years.
Todd writes that Chittor, then known as Jattor was the capital of Mori branch of Takshaks. Gehlot Jats later occupied it.
Ram Swarup Joon writes that Shavi was the son of the king Ushinar. He was a Yogi and an ascetic. He was married to, Sati the daughter of king Daksha. After her death he married Parvati. His seat of tapasya was on the Gangotri Mountain. He had two sons, Smokartik and Ganpati (Ganesh).
The Shavi dynasty prospered well. The Descendants of his dynasty are famous as Takshak, Bachak, Bharhaich, Nags etc. Shavi 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.
They
went and settled down in Taxila (Taksila). In the battle of Mahabharata
they joined the Kauravas and killed king Parikshit. They founded
Takshakkhad (Tashkand) and Takshaksthan (Turkistan).
Tartar
and Naga connection :
The
Takshak of Punjab :
As a matter of fact, totem tradition was a peculiarity of indigenous people of ancient India. As such these Takshakas or Nagas used to worship serpents and at certain occasions wore artificial hoods of cobra on their heads, hence were called serpents or Nagas. These people, in origin were inhabitants of Panjab or Indus Valley. Still three parts of this land are known as Taka, Majha (Madra) and Malava, which were ruled by three royal families or blood relatives of the same names. Malava is Southern part of Satluj river, land between Beas and Jhelam in general, is known as Majha and whole North-Western part beyond Jhelam or present Pakistan is known as Taka. This Taka is named after the name of royal family of Taka. One province of Afghanistan is still called Takhar. Name of their tribe was Andhra.
The name of Takshak Nag first appears in the Mahabharata as opponent of Pandavas. Hence, this seems to be one of the most ancient royal families of Naga race, who gave birth to the most of the Naga royal families of ancient India. Their capital was Taka-shar (Taki or Takka-war) near Sialkot. Cunningham mentions other names of this city as Taki and Asurar (of Assyrians). Their ancient traditional capital was Takshila. H. L. Kosare after Mahabharat informs that Arattas had their three branches Takka, Vahika and Jertika.
In Mahabharat, the family Gotra of Takas has been given Karpati and among them, along with the Malavas of Rajasthan and Panjab, Panch-karpatis also have been included. These were people of republic society. It seems that they were relatives of their nearest neighbourers, the Malavas. These Malavas used to worship Karkota Nag, hence Takas were also believed to be worshipers of above deity. They later shifted from Panjab to Rajasthan and settled there in the east. It is clear that Takas were republicans or guild or Sangha people. They had their two other families or blood relatives Malavas and Madras and their Gotra was Karpati.
Madras were called Vahika and Jertika. Hemchandra, in his Abhidhan Chintamani (lV-25) has equated Vahikas with Takas. These Takas were Vahika Nagas, therefore Vahikas, Jertikas and Madras were also Nagas and all the four Naga tribes were blood relatives of Arattas . There was a tribal confederacy of Taka Nagas in Panjab that is why the Panjab was known as Taka-Mulka or Taka-country as mentioned by Hieuntsang. It is obvious that Vahikas were from Taka family.
Some scholars think these Jertikas were Jats. Taka or Takshakas and Vahikas appear in the Mahabharata period (950 B.C.) where as Kushanas, the progenitors of Jats appear on the horizon of history about 1000 ears later, as invaders from North. On the other hand Jat is the name of a gotra of Taka kshatriyas. Dr Naval Viyogi hence on this basis concludes that above Jat is not related to Jat caste or Kushanas but Takas. Jat in the Nagavansha were already there on the Indian soil. This is also confirmed from presence of large number of Jat Gotras originated from Nagavansh.
It has been observed, that ancient inscriptions in the Pali or Buddhist character have been discovered in various parts of Rajasthan of the race called Tastas, Takshak and Tak relating to the tribes, the Mori (or Maurya) Parmar their descendants. Nagas and Takshakas are synonymous appellation in Sanskrit for the snake, and the Takshak is the celebrated Nagavansha of the early heroic history of India. The Mahabharata describes in its usual allegorical style the war between the Pandavs of Indraprasth and the Takshaka of the North. The assassination of Parikshita by the Takshak and the exterminating warfare carried on against them by his son and successor, Janmejay, who at last compelled them to sign tributary engagements, divested of its allegory, is plain historical fact. Their warfare lasted for a longer period, ultimately progeny of Pandavas had to leave Hastinapur while the city was washed away in a terrible flood of the river Ganga at about 800 B.C. Later on it was taken over by the Nagas.
"In the Bhavishya Puran." According to James Tod" Prince Sahasra-Arjuna is termed as Chakravartin or paramount sovereign. It is said that he conquered Karkotaka of the Takshak, Turushka or snake race and brought with him the population of Mahishmati and founded Hemnagara in the North India, on his expulsion from his dominions on the Narbuda. Traditional legends of this prince yet remain on the Narbuda, where he is styled "Sahasrabahu or with a thousand arms," figurative of his numerous progeny. The Takshak or snake race, here alluded to, will engage our attention. The name of animals in early time, planets and things inanimate, all furnished symbolic appellations for various races."
It is evident that race of Takshak, being at the entry gate of India in North West not only suffered at the hand of invaders from North and West but also those from South.
From the Mahabharat account, Son of Takshak was Ashwasena who was saved by Indra, while Khandavavana was put into flame by Pandav Arjun (1000 BC-950 BC).
It seems that there was also possession of Nagas over Gandhar country in the time of Parshvanath, because Nagjit or Naget, the king of Gandhar, has been said to be the follower of Parashwanath. Perhaps this Naga king Nagjit would have been related to Takshaka since country of Gandhara or Takshila was their main centre of rule from remote past. We know that the primogenitor of Naga, according to Mahabharat was Rajrishi Kashyap, who was national guru of Parswanath also.
During the life time of Buddha (567-487 BC), Takshila was the capital of Gandhar country or the modern Kandhar. Then, the king of Gandhar was Pukkusati, who is said to have sent an embassy and a letter to king Bimbisara of Magadha. He was a follower of Buddha. He died in his old age on his first and last trip to Magadha, a week after his meeting with Buddha.
Like Nanda dynasty, Taka family also suffered at the hands of Puranic Chronicles. Contemporary Puranas have ignored pedigree and chronology of this family in general. However we have traced out a very handful names from different sources; when Alexander invaded India (325 BC) he found the Paraitakai, the mountain (Pahar) Tak, inhabiting the Paropamisos range; nor is it by any means unlikely that Taxiles [Arrian says that his name was Omphis (Ambhi)]. Hence, perhaps (from Tak), the name of Indus Attok, not Atak or forbidden according to modern signification the ally of the Macedonian king, was the chief of the Takas; and in the early history of the Bhatti prince of Jaisalmer, when driven from Zabulistan, they dispossessed the Takas on the Indus, and established themselves in their land the capital of which was called Salivahanpura. It is by no means unlikely that Salivahana or Salbhan (who was a Takshaka) the conqueror of the Tuar Vikram, was of the very family dispossessed by the Bhattis who compelled them to migrate to the South.
These Takas or Takshakas, whose chief was Omphis or Ambhi, was a snake worshiper tribe as noted by the Greek historian M.C. Crindle. He reproduces as such,
"They
found in many of them besides other animals, a snake, which the
Indians regarding as sacred, kept in a cave and worshiped with much
devotion. The Indians accordingly with every kind of entreaty implored
Alexander to let no one molest the animal, and he consented to this
(Strabo XV-1-28). Now when the army was marching past the cave the
snake heard the sound that arose (that kind of animal being very
sharp both of hearing and sight) and hissed so loud and emitted
such gusts of rage that everyone was terrified and quite confounded.
It was said to be seventy cubits long, and yet the whole of it was
not seen, except its head that projected from the cave its eyes,
moreover are reported to have equaled the size of the large round
Mecedonian shield."
The ancient inscriptions in the Pali Buddhist character have been discovered in various parts of Rajasthan of the race of Taxak or Tak, relating to the tribe Mori and Parmara are their descendants. Taxak Mori was the lord of Chittor from very early period.
The Huna Kingdom of Sialkot (of Mihir Kula 515-540 AD), destroyed by Yashodharman, was subsequently seized by a new dynasty of kshatriyas called Tak or Taxak. The Taxak Mori as being lords of Chittor from very early period and few generations after the Guhilots supplanted the Moris, this palladium of Hindu liberty was assailed by the arms of Islam. (725-35) we find amongst the numerous defenders who appear to have considered the cause of Chittor their own the Tak from Asirgarh. This race appears to have retained possession of Asirgarh for at least two centuries after this event as its chieftain was one of the most conspicuous leaders in the array of Prithvi Raj. In the poems of Chandar he is called the "Standard, bearer, Tak of Asir."

Abulghazi [Hist, of the Turks, Moguls, and Tartars, 1730, i. 5 f
.] says, when Noah left the ark he divided the earth amongst his
three sons : Shem had Iran : Japhet, the country of ' Kuttup Shamach,'
the name of the regions between the Caspian Sea and India. There
he lived two hundred and fifty years. He left eight sons, of whom
Turk was the elder and the seventh Camari, supposed the Gomer of
Scripture. Turk had four sons ; the eldest of whom was Taunak, the
fourth from whom was Mogul, a corruption of Mongol, signifying sad,
whose successors made the Jaxartes their winter abode. [The word
means ' brave ' (Howorth, Hist, of the Mongols, i. 27).] Under his
reign no trace of the true religion remained : idolatry reigned
everywhere. Aghuz Khan succeeded. The ancient Cimbri, who went west
with Odin's horde of Jats, Chattis, and Su , were probably the tribes
descended from Camari, the son of Turk.
It has been already observed, that ancient inscriptions in the Pali or Buddhist character have been discovered in various parts of Rajasthan, of the race called Tasta, Takshak, and Tak, relating to the tribes, the Mori or Maurya, Pramar, their descendants.
Naga and Takshak are synonymous appellations in Sanskrit for the snake, and the Takshak is the celebrated Nagvansh of the early heroic history of India. The Mahabharata describes, in its usual allegorical style, the wars between the Pandavas of Indraprastha and the Takshaks of the north. The assassination of Parikshit by the Takshak, and the exterminating warfare carried on against them by his son and successor, Janamejaya, who at last compelled them to sign tributary engagements, divested of its allegory,3 is plain historical fact.

Tacash continued to be a proper name with the great Khans of Kharizm
(Chorasmia) until they adopted the faith of Muhammad. The father
of Jala], the foe of Jenghiz Khan, was named Tacash. Tashkent on
the [Jaxartes]], the capital of Turkistan, may be derived from the
name of the race. Bayer says, " Tocharistan was the region
of the Tochari, who were the ancient T??a?o? (Tochari), or T??a?o?
(Tacharoi)." Amraianus Marcellinus says, " many nations
obey the Bactrians, whom the Tochari surpass " (Hist. Beg.
Bad. p. 7).
The calculated period of the invasion of the Takshaks, or Nagvansa, under Sheshnag, is about six or seven centuries before the Christian era, at which very period the Scythic invasion of Egypt and Syria, " by the sons of Togarmah riding on horses " (the Aswas, or Asi), is alike recorded by the prophet Ezekiel and Diodorus. The Abu Mahatma calls the Takshaks " the sons of Himachal," all evincing Scythic descent ; and it was only eight reigns anterior to this change in the Lunar dynasties of India, that Parsvanath, the twenty-third Buddha [Jain Tirthankara], introduced his tenets into India, and fixed his abode in the holy mount Sarnet
amidst the ravines of the Chambal, the tract called Gujargarh, a district inhabited by the Gujar tribe. Turbulent and independent, like the sons of Esau, their hand against every man and every man's hand against them, their nominal prince, Surajmall, the Jat chief of Bharatpur, pursued exactly the same plan towards the population of these villages, whom they captured in a night attack, that Janamejaya did to the Takshaks : he threw them into pits with combustibles, and actually thus consumed them ! This occurred not three-quarters of a century ago.
1
Arrian says that his name was Omphis [Ambhi], and that his father
dying at this time, he did homage to Alexander, who invested him
with the title and estates of his father Taxiles. Hence, perhaps
(from Tak), the name of the Indus, Attak; not Atak, or ' forbidden,'
according to modern signification, and which has only been given
since the Muhammadan religion for a time made it the boundary between
the two faiths. [All these speculations are valueless.
This ancient race, the foe of Janamejaya and the friend of Alexander, closed its career in a blaze of splendour. The celebrity of the kings of Gujarat will make amends for the obscurity of the Taks of modern times, of whom a dynasty of fourteen kings followed each other in succession, commencing and ending with the proud title of Muzaffar. It was in the reign of Muhammad,3 son of the first Tughlak, that an accident to his nephew Firoz proved the dawn of the fortunes of the Tak ; purchased, however, with the change of name and religion. Saharan the Tak was the first apostate of his line, who, under the name of Wajihu-1-mulk, concealed both his origin and tribe. His son, Zafar Khan, was raised by his patron Firoz to the government of Gujarat, about the period when Timur invaded India. Zafar availed himself of the weakness of his master and the distraction of the times, and mounted the throne of Gujarat under the name of Muzaffar.4 He was assassinated by the hand of his grandson, Ahmad, who changed the ancient capital, Anhilwara, for the city founded by himself, and called Ahmadabad, one of the most splendid in the east. With the apostasy of the Tak,5 the name appears to have

Takshak
Nagvans :
The Takshak Jats together with many other Jat dynasties formed an association called Nagavansha. Takshak people are a branch of Nagavansh. L Ramsarup June , Jat History English writes on page 104 that “Takshak people are Chandravanshi. In the tenth generation of Anu 's son Anu , there was a glorious Emperor camp. In the 29th generation of the camp, a son of King Satauti was named Takshak. Takshak dynasty came out in his name because of Takshak's fame. " There was a kingdom of Takshak kings before the Pandavas burnt the Khandava forest and make Indraprastha their capital. Takshak Jats fought fiercely against Arjuna and Shri Krishna. In the end, these people were defeated and went to Takshashila along with the Takshak king and settled down.
Due to this malice, the Coast Guard fought in the Mahabharata war against the Pandavas on behalf of Duryodhana. The guards killed Arjunputra Parikshit in his palaces. His son Janamejaya attacked Taxila. But Janmejaya forgives Takshakaraja in consultation with sage Aastiq 1. That the Tkshkvansh gradually Bhashabed stitch, niche, tuck, Tckr, Toks, argument was Lokprasiddh name. The Kashmiri poet Kalhan has written it as part of Gurjar country, referring to the kingdom of Takka. These people were famously powerful. The whole Punjab was jealous of his greatness. China River Nearby, his kingdom was forced by his king Alkhan to give the Virkwanshi Jats to the people between 883 and 901 AD. Before this, Alexander had taken Takshak Vaidya from Taxila with him. Hunsang by Takk the people Taxila is praised gazing glory of the smart residents and wrote a warm nature. Tod saheb wrote the power of the Takshas in Kathanagar on the banks of the Yamuna in the 14th-15th century. 'Madan Parijat' has written the king named Ratnapala, Varhap, Harishchandra, Ordinary, Sahasrapala, Madanpal of this place. This king Madanpal wrote the famous text of Ayurveda 'Madanpalanighantu'. Tod counts the Takshak dynasty among 36 princes and ChittorAnd the ruler of Asirgarh and who settled in the high regions of Asia and the famous hero is written.
On the princely state of Tonk, Takshak was a state of Jats. 5 miles north of this is Pirana, a village under the mountain . There was a democratic state of these Jats in it (Jatveer year 8, issue 42, author Ritchpal Singh). These people used to collect tax from the traders passing through their state. Once there the king of Jahangir passed away. The Piranas' chiefs allowed him to take tax from them. On being known, the emperor sent his commander Malukkhan to avenge him. Hearing the might of the Jats, he stayed at Sherpur, a village near Pirana. The Doom (Dome) of the Jats of Pirana came in greed and told Malukkhan that “Bhadon Badi 12 will have a fair (celebration) of the Bachchwars. On that day all men and women swing disarmed and fearless. ”On this festival, Malukkhan surrounded Bachhwaras. The Jatviron of Pirana Sardar Jivnsinh andDespite being disarmed, Raimal broke the heads of fifty enemies. These two brave fighters worked. Some women fighting in this war were also killed. In this way this democratic state of the Jats was destroyed. (Jat History, p. 600-601, author Tha Deshraj), Utterance of Jats, pages 326-327, author Yogendrapal Shastri.
There are 12 villages in Sonipat in Haryana of Takshak Jats, in which Rathdhana, Bayampur, Harsana, Libaspur, Kalupur, Lolhada, Jatheda etc. are prominent. The Takshak of Dehli is called Jat Tokas, who escaped from Khandavadah and settled here. Their Munirka Mohammadpur, Humayumpur, Hauz Khas etc. are special rich villages. In Bikaner, 15 villages belong to the Tanks . Bhagi village in Dadri tehsil in district Bhiwani Takshak is of Jats.

Jat Samaj Patrika :
Charkhi Dadri near Ravldi Ran / Bagwati name of Leo Behror was married. In Bahrod, the people of the majority of the society used to harass Bhaga. Bhaga summoned his brother Raja Udai Singh Tokas and Raja Ruddh Singh Tokas from Rawaladi. They defeated the society that had harassed the majority. A separate village was established in the name of Bhaga . Which is famous today as Bhangi Bahrod.
The deceases offspring to protect his sister ran people ran lived. Since then, the village of Bhakso was populated in village Bhagi.
After some time, the wives of Chaudhary Udai Singh and Chaudhary Rudh Singh said that your sister is now safe and living happily. So now we should leave the sister's house. Leaving some men near the sister, they left. They were going on the road that their vehicle broke. They stayed there
According to Pandit Chandrabhan Vaidya (Bhatt), when asked by the younger queen (wife of Rudh Singh) to move the Jeth ji a little further, Raja Uday Singh accepted this as a taunt and went to Pilibhit. Asked from there to ask the little queen if I should go further. In this way Raja Udai Singh settled in Pilibhit.
Ruddha Singh remained alone. Settled in Naharpur from there . Due to the poor land there, Baburpur settled, which is called Harding Bridge. Walking from here, Ruddha Singh Tokas permanently settled in Munirka. According to the Bhatt Granth, Vikrami Samvat 1503, 1446 Varkha Sawan Sudi on the ninth day, on Monday, Rudh Singh settled the village of Munirka. Ruddha Singh Tokas had a business of cow, buffalo milk. And they also used to do milk business from Pathan named Manir Khan. Manir Khan Pathan was the debtor of Ruddh Singh. He could not get the loan Therefore, Manir Khan gave all the three strips of Veerpur, Raipur, Ujirpur to Rudh Singh. In this way he became the owner of this manor. King Jagir Mubarak Shah to Manir KhanHad given in the reward.
At that time, the land of Munirka village was 7000 bighas. In which today R. K. Puram, J. Un. U, D.D.A. Flat, Basant Kunj, Basant Bihar are inhabited. In the year 1675 Vikram Samvat 1732, Rupa Ram / Ratia Singh Tokas, descendant of Ruddha Singh, moved to Humayumpur village from Munirka and after that in 1715 Vikram Samvat 1772 from Tula Ram Tokas Munirka to Mohammadpur village.

Munirka village, situated in the region of Aravalli mountain, is situated amidst natural drains. Earlier there used to be rugged forests here. In Munirka village, there is an ancient temple of Munir Baba Gangnathji, the presiding deity of the village, associated with Siddha Machendra Yeti Guru Gorakh Nath Siddha Baba. Baba Gangnath ji had taken life for a long time here after doing penance. The mausoleum of Baba Gangnathji, his magnificent temple and his Dhuni is still the heart of the village. There is an ancient grand pond near the temple.
