History of kiratiss

Time of Mahabharata, The first Kirat king who ruled central Nepal was Banashur. His kingdom was conquered by a king whose name was Bhuktaman of Gopal dynasty. The Kirat folk-lore mentions that when Krishna came to know about the establishment of a Kirat rule in central Nepal, he sent a strong force of the Yadava tribe under the command of Bhuktaman to conquer the kingdom of Banashur. According to Krishna's instructions, Bhuktaman attacked Banashur, killed him and established his new kingdom. Thus the kings of this.Yadava dynasty ruled central Nepal for eight generations. Their capital was at Tistung situated to the west of the Kathmandu Valley. But during the time of king Bhuvansingh of the same dynasty, a Kirat king of eastern Nepal18 whose name was Yalamba, attacked him and slew him in the battle. The jurisdiction of Central Nepal in those days was from river Trisuli in the west to river Tamba Koshi in the east and from Chitlang in the south to the snow line mountain ranges in the north. When Yalamba, the Kirat king conquered Central Nepal, his kingdom extended from river Tista of Bhutan to river Trisuli in the west. The capital town of the Kirat king Yalamba was Yalung in the east; but when he conquered Central Nepal he shifted his capital from Yalung to Thankot. Some of the European scholars have called Yalung or Yelung as the first Kirat king who conquered Central Nepal. They seem to have made a mistake in writing the name of his residence as the king’s name. After a successful reign of ninety years, King Yalamba died and his son Palamba succeeded him. He built a town near Thankot and called it Suprabha and gave himself the title of Kiratashur19 (Kiratishur).

During the reign of the sixth Kirat king Humati Hang, Arjun, the son of Pandu of Indraprastha had visited Indrakil Parvat or the hills of the Eastern Kirat country. Bharawi has mentioned about a fight with a Kirat feudal chief in the hilly forest of Eastern Nepal. When Arjun came to know that his combatant was as strong as Mahadev or the Great God, he addressed him as Mahadev or the Great God and begged him pardon for his mistake of taking him as an ordinary man and humbly prayed him for his blessings to acquire Pashupatastra.

When Arjun was late in returning from Indrakil Parvat, all the Pandavas accompanied by Draupadi and Dronacharya came in search of him to the Himalayan mountains. First of all, they were received with great honour by the Kirat kings Subahu and Pulinda of the Western Terai land of modern Nepal. They helped them in proceeding towards Indrakil Parvat.

Bhimsen fought with the Rakshas servants of Kirat King Kubera in Alkapur, the capital of the Kirat kingdom in the Himalaya. Kubera advised Bhimsen and asked him not to depend only upon strength like the Rakshas. Bhimsen thanked him for the instructions and bowed his head down before him with great respect. He again fought with a Gandharba Kirat near a stream in the Himalayas. The Gandharba Kirat very humbly explained to Bhimsena the meaning of Deva or civilised person, their duties and the reasons of calling themselves Devas. Though they were ordinary men, the Gandharba Yakkha and Kirat Ashur were very proud calling themselves Devas. When Dronacharya was roaming about with his five Pandava pupils on the Terai lands of modern Nepal, he was honored by the Kirat Prince Ekalabya of Nepal, the image of whose head is still regarded by the people of Kathmandu by the name of Akash Bhairav.

The five Pandavas spent their year of disguise in the palace of Kirat King Viratha in the Terai land of eastern Nepal. In the same way, before the coming of the Aryans towards eastern India, there were only Kirat kings in every village in North Bihar, North Bengal and Assam. No doubt, the Aryans had heard the news of Kirat people of the east. They used to call the modern Assam and Lohit by the name of Mlechha desh or the country of Mlech or Mech people.

According to the Markandey Puran, the famous seven Kirat kingdoms during the Mahabharat time were Aswakut or Kabul, Kulya or Kulu Valley; Matsya or North Bihar Paundra or Bengal, Sumer or Assam, Malak or Mlek or Lohit; Kinner Kirat or Garhwal and Nepal. The Kirat nation in those days included Khambos or Khamboja, Yaven or Greek, Saka or Scythian, Pallava or Parthian,Parasika or Persian, Parad or Balhikas, Chinese Kirata or Assyrian and Khasas. They were all civilised people but they had no connection with the Aryan culture. So the Aryans used to call them Shudra or foreigners.21 Thus, when Bhimsena and Arjuna came to the eastern countries when for the first time, they had to fight against these Kirat people. It appears that the above mentioned tribes had their confederacy in this Himalayan region and they had regarded the Kirat-Ashur king as the figure of their central Government.

At that time, there were many kings in Bihar and Bengal who were called Harba Hang, Darba Hang, Viratha, Satya and Kichaka. Among them, King Viratha was very famous. In those days, the Kirat people were ruling all the lands from Himalayan mountains to the sea shores of the Bay of Bengal.
