Lichuvi
A tribe named Lichchav lived in Vaishali Nagar in the north-eastern part of Bihar state i.e. Muzaffarpur district in the sixth century BC. Due to the descendants of a great man named Lichchh, they were famous by this name because of their name being livid or because they used to wear some type of symbols. The Lichchiwi dynasty is a famous history, whose kingdom was at some time in Nepal, Magadha and Kaushal.
In this ancient Sanskrit literature, the name of this branch of the Kshatriyas is called 'Nichchavi' or 'Nichichivivi'. Pali form is 'lichchavi'. According to Manusmriti, the Lichchavites were Vratya Kshatriyas. They have been counted with Jhal, Malla, Nut, Karan, Khash and Dravid. These 'Lichchhavi' people were anti-Vedic religion. Many of these branches were spread far and wide. Jain Tirthankar Mahavir became the owner of Vaishaliwali branch and Gautam Buddha was born in Shaky branch of Kausal. It was the kingdom of this dynasty from Mithila to Magadha and Koshal at some point of time. In the same way in the Sanskrit texts of the Hindus, this line is called inferior, in the same way, it is said to be very high in the poly and the holy texts of the Buddhists and Jains. The contemporary of Gautam Buddha, King Bimbasar of Magadhe, had links to the Lichchhavi people of Vaishali. The Gupta emperor also married Lichchavi's daughter behind. introduction
The history and the rule of this caste get in some form for one thousand years. Lichchavi was the principal caste of Vizji Sangli and hence the name of Vajjis comes in the list of Shodash Mahajanapadas in the Thangadhyaya body (1,213: 4,252), Mahavastu (2,2) and Vinaypitak (2,146), not of Lichchhavi. Perhaps this is why Panini has mentioned Vertical Union (Sarthi 4/2/131). (Madras: K.). Kautilya has also confirmed this (Vragik - Max. 11/1). In the eight castes of Vajjis (Atkatulika), the Lichchhvi believed to be a strong and all-powerful nation, whose name is also mentioned in Ramayana. (Ikshvaku's son Dharmatma Raja "Huge" had created this and hence the town was named Vaishali.)
According to the Indian tradition, Lachvavi was Kshatriyas descendants, for this reason, after the Mahaparipanavan, the Lakhvi Sangh had divided the remains of Buddha. Those people had constructed a stupa on the residue that came from the excavation of Vaishali (1958 AD). Due to the area of Buddhism and Jainism, the Lichhavite race has been described in a particular manner. It has been called extremely organized and perfectly organized organization. Second school of Buddhism was also in Vaishal.
It is said that the Lichchavites had climbed Magadha during the reign of Bimbasar (Details of Hwangsang-Budhist Records of Western World, 2, 166). In the Magadha and Vaishali states, there was a marriage in connection with the treaty, but after the Bimbasar, Ajatshatru thought of revenge for this war. Even after being absent from the world, Buddha had warned Ajatshatru that the Lichchavid Sangh is invincible, is impenetrable and can not weaken its democratic organization. Knowing these words of Buddha, Ajatshatru abandoned the idea of directly attacking and handed over the malicious act of breaking the Lichchhi Sangh and making the Nirval by making the difference to his minister Vassarkar. At last, the untouchables (Bhagwatasutra 300). On the south side of Ganga, Pataliputra was established on the south side of the Ganges for invasion of Vaishali, where the Magadassena was organized and the Lichchavya was defeated due to the Union split.
Because of the Buddhist convergence, the Lakhwavi tribe supported peace and non-violence. Likewise, under the Maghdh empire, the Lekchiv race system ruled for centuries for the manner. Since the beginning of AD, the Lekchwadi Sangh in Kushan period again announced the independence. His organization became strong and Vaishali became the head of the state in Bihar. On the rise of the Gupta dynasty in the 4th century, Gupta Nars became powerful because of the marriage relationship with the Lichuvi dynasty. The origin of the Gupta empire was possible with the help of Lekhavis. It is confirmed by secret records and gold medals.
In the private carved gold currencies, a gold coin is found in the name of "Chandragupta and Shri Kumar Devi", in which the shape of the king and queen is carved in its forehead and is marked as "Chandragupta" and "Sri Kumar Devi". The statue of Ambika sitting on a lion's back is on the page. On the right is "Liquor:" The posture has been read. After sufficient consideration it has been proved that Gupta Naresh first Chandragupta took this coin after marriage to Lichchavi Princess Kumaradevi. This marriage is confirmed by the Prayag column of Samudragupta, where the sea is described in the following words: - "Sri Maharajadhiraj Chandraguptya Lichvi, Dahititra Mahadevani Kumaradeviamnapnasam Maharajadhiraj Shri Samudra Guptas". It has mutual sympathy and cooperation in both the countries. Probably not possible to protect Livchhavi etc. in front of imperialist imagination. Due to the demise of the democracy of the Indian theater, the source of the revival of political consciousness has come to an end. The Lichchavites migrated from northern Bihar to Nepal in the sixth century. They entered the safe terrain of Kathmandu and established the state. The town of Kathmandu was founded by Likbhav Raja Manikdev Devdev. Many records of the Lichchhavi caste (Patan, Pashupatinath Temple) have been found there which prove that this caste ruled for many centuries in Nepal. Their reign has been called "Golden Age" in the history of Nepal. Lichchhivayon was defeated by the Thakuri Vansi rulers in Nepal and took power under his control. Nepalese people are the descendants of Lichavivyou. The tradition of Lichchhivayu is still alive in these people.
On the basis of dhandhini, it can be said that women's samadar and elderly people were respected in Vajjingh. The force was not used with the ballads. The members of the Sangha regarded the Chaatas, worshiped and performed religious activities properly.
For the purpose of administering administrative tasks, there was a meeting of Lichchavigan, which had 7707 members and was called all the Kings. In the absence of clear evidence, it is difficult to say that all members of the assembly were elected. It is narrated in Lalitvista that the Lichchis did not consider each other small to be big, all considered themselves to be the king (Lalit Vishore A. 3) In this connection it is also important to note that the anointing of the Gana kings of Vaishali city Was used. (Vesolinigar Ganarajkulanan Abhishek Pokhakaraniyam - Ja. 4) Lord Buddha had said in relation to Lichchiv Gan that all the members were unanimously present at the convention. No order was made without making rules and they acted according to pre-rules. (Samagga Sani Patissanti Samagga Sanghkaraniyaani Krisansanti Mahaparinuvan Satta, Bhaskar 2) Vaishali's Likewise
Among the ancient republics located in Bihar was the largest and powerful state in Buddhist times. This Republic was founded by Vishal, son of Suryavanshi king Ishwak, who was known by the name of Vaishali in the long run. Also see them
