Watts Mahajanapadas

Vats or ancestry or Batas or Bansh was one of the 16 Mahajanapadas of ancient India. It was centered around modern Allahabad. In the northeast, the coastal land of the Yamuna was included in it. Kaushambi, 30 miles from Allahabad, was its capital. Vatsas are also called Vatsas and Vatsas land. Its capital, Kausambi (present day) was located 38 miles southwest of Yamuna from Allahabad. In the war of Mahabharata, Vatsas fought against the side of the Pandavas. Origin and history

The origin of Vatsadesh is related to the Chandravanshi kings of Kashi. The name of the son of the son of Devodas of Kashi was Vatsas. Its main village was Damat, but it was also known for its eardrops, seasonal and kuvalayasam names. In the universe and air puranas, Vatsa and Purnaadan are said to be not one and Vatsa is said to be the son of prayer. Vatsa increased the influence of Kashi State and conquered the states near Kaushambi, which became famous by name as Vats or Vats land. The famous emperor Albert was the son of this Vats.

There is the name of Pratishtha Kaushbaye in the Sathpath Brahmin, which the commentator Hariswamin describes as a resident of Kaushambi. This is the first mention of the state capital of Vats.

The history of Vatsas separated from the influence of Kashi starts from the time of Kuruvanshik Nikhshusu. Arjuna's grandson and son of test was Janmayya. After Jainmayaya, the classical descendants of Ashokmadhdutt, Supersam Krishna and Nichkshu After the destruction of Hastinapur by the flood of Ganga, Jainamayya established his kingdom in Kaushambi. Thus, the state of Vatsas and the right of the Indian Dynasty. The names of 23 kings came after the Nichshu in the Puranas. Most of these are nominal for us. It is possible that some names in this table may also be of those princes who did not sit on the throne; The table has been increased by adding some contemporary kings as follow-up and adding some of the sub-schools to the main lineage.

The first of these kings, about which we have known certain things, is the second Sainthik of Puranas which was also known as Parantip. In the Puranas, his father's name was Vasudan, but according to Bhas, Sahastrakin was. He married a princess of Vivek. He invaded Champa, the capital of the Nagesh Dadhivahan capital. It is clear that there was a significant increase in the effect and importance of the State of Vatsas in the time of the Shantnik Paranpar. The reign of the Shattanic was completed in 550 BC Can be kept almost. The name of Vats or Vans also comes in the table of sixteen Mahajanapadas in the sixth century BC.

The supreme advancement of this dynasty was born in the time of Udayan. It is said that he was born on the day Gautam Buddha was born. It is certain that he was contemporary of Buddha and was one of the prominent men of his time. Its capital, Kaushambi, was counted among the major cities of northern India due to its prosperity. Similarly, the Watts state was distinguished as one of the four major states of northern India. Many wonderful stories prevailing in Udayan makes it clear that the impression of his personality on his contemporary society was deep. Kalidas has mentioned Avanti's fiction-story Kovid Gramavrudh in his Meghdoot.

Udayan related romances get names of many queens. These marital relations are the introduction of its political influence and efficient policy. The story of her love and marriage is given in the Dhammapada stanza with the reigning King Vashuldatta (Vasavadatta) of Avanti King Pradyoth. He had other queens, Padmavati, the sister of Samvati, a Brahmin daughter of Kuru and sister of Magadha Naresh Vichar. In the delightful Priyadarshika, the mention of her marriage with Aryanaka, daughter of Angnaresh Fathuvarnamman, is mentioned. In Ratnavali, Vasavdatta's hostess is the story of her love with Sagarika.

The boundaries of the Empire's empire are not known. But perhaps his state was in the south of the Ganges and Yamuna and in the east there was a boundary between Magadha and Avanti in the west. According to Harsh's Priyadarshika, Udayan had conquered Kalinga and established his breathless ascendant on the throne of the limb again. His Digvijay is a vivid description of Kathasaritsagar. But it is difficult to find out the historical truth in these details. From a Jataka tale, it appears that the state of the people of Bhuj (Harij) of Sunamargiri was also under the rule of Vats.

Udayan was initially against Buddhism. Once he had become addicted to drunkenness, he once oppressed the monk named Pandol, but later he became a follower of Buddha because of Pandol's influence. It was natural that the Watts and Avanti dynasties would become mutual enemies in their power competition, but Avantinesh Pradyut could not dare to attack Vatsaraj during the lifetime of Udayan. In time, it appears that Vatsas state avanti came under the influence of the state and got it in the same.

After the evolution of the Puranas, the list of the kings of Vatsas ends with the names of Wahinar, Dandapani, Nirmitra and Hazmak. We do not know anything about these kings. Of these, Wahinar is probably mentioned in the name of Bodhikumar in a person and in the name of Naravahan in Kathasaritatsagar. According to the Puranas, the end of the Vatsas dynasty was endangered. With the conquest of the Avanti state by the Magadha king Shishunaag, the kingdom of Vats also became part of Magadha state.
