Jat Gotras Namesake

Given below is partial list of the peoples or places in Nagaur of Rajasthan, which have phonetic similarity with Jat clans or Jat Places. In list below those on the left are Jat clans (or Jat Places) and on right are people or place names in Nagaur Districts. Such a similarity is probably due to the fact that Nagavanshi Jats had been rulers of this area in antiquity as is proved by Inscriptions found in this region and mentioned in Jat History Dalip Singh Ahlawat[1].

Ancient History

Mahabharata period: Nagaur finds mention in the Mahabharata as the kingdom of Ahichhatrapura which Arjun is said to have conquered and subsequently offered to his Guru Dronacharya. It was perhaps some of the area of the Nagaur district. This area has been identified as Chhapar Churu, which in ancient times was called Dronapura (द्रोणपुर) or Dronaka (द्रोनक). [2]

Buddhist Records: Dr Naval Viyogi[3] writes.... [p.393]: We have some basic solid evidence. There[4] is a mention of the word Nagpura in the prayer of worship of tooth relics of Buddhist religion.

ekā dāthāti dasapure eka nāgapure ahu |
ekā gandhār visaye ekāsi puna sinhale ||
chatassā tā mahādātha, nivvāna rasadipikā |
pūjitā naradevehi tāpi bandāmi dhātayo ||


Meaning : One of the tooth relics of Tathāgata is secure in Dashapura, the second in Nagpura, third in Gandhara country and fourth in Sinhal country. All these four tooth relics are being worshipped by all the divinities for the sake of human deliverance, because they provide the taste of Niravana-Rasa (Juice of bliss). Hence, I also bow down.

In this prayer[5] of worship of tooth relics of Buddha, there is mention of tooth relics of Tathagata only. There is also description of one tooth relics of Buddha at Nagpura.[6]


In Harivamsa Nagpura has been mentioned as a dwelling place of Nagas. (Rajwade, Lekh-Sangrah Part II P-234). From this name of the place of Nagpur, it is also proved that it was a city of Nagas. [7]

Chauhan History

According to Dasharatha Sharma[8] inn ancient times the town was called Nagapura (नागपुर) and was a town of Chauhan dominions.

Nagaur finds mention in the Bijolia Inscription of 1170 AD[9] as Ahichhatrapur (अहिच्छ्त्रपुर).

Ratan Lal Mishra[10] writes.... The chronology of Harshanath Inscription of Chauhan rulers is supported by their Bijolia Inscription of v.s. 1226 (1170 AD). As per record of Bards the place of origin of Chauhans is Mahishmati on the banks of Narmada River. Ahichhatrapur and Shakambhari were their first and second capitals. Their state was known as Sapadalaksha which included one lakh villages. As per Ojha Sapadalaksha was the name of Nagaur. Shakambhari was the ancient name of Sambhar.


Dasharatha Sharma[11], In the Chauhan dominions, as elsewhere in India, towns grew up round forts, courts, sacred sites, and points of strategic and commercial importance. Ajayameru, Nadol, Ranthambhor, Jalor and Sambhar were not only capitals of important kingdoms and chiefships but also excellent places for offensive and defensive military action. Satyapura, Kanyanayana, Bhinmal, Phalavardhika, and Abu were sacred sites, tough the last one of these had also considerable strategic importance. Tabarhindah, Asika (Hansi), Sunam, Sarasvati (Sirsa), and Kohram owed their importance to being places of defence and refuge on the route from north-western India to Ajayameru. Delhi was the gateway to Madhyadesha and Nagapura (Nagor) commanded the route to the riches of Sapadalaksha and Marwar.

Dasharatha Sharma [12] writes that ....

  • The Kumarikhanda of the Skanda Purana which mentions a few other Sapadalaksha, i.e., territorial units supposed to have 1-1/4 lac villages. The Chauhans belonged to the Sakambhara-sapadalaksha which probably is the territorial unit meant by Wasaf who writes that "Siwalik contains 1,25,000 towns and villages." (ED., III, p. 31.).
(a) "Again, he (Muhammad Bahlim) rebelled, and founded the fortress of Naghawr, in the territory of Siwalikh" (p. 110).
(b) "This Taj-ud-din was in the service of Malik Karim-ud-din hamzah at Naghawr of Siwalikh." (p. 200).
(c) "The seat of territory, Ajmir, with the whole of the Siwalikh (territory), such as Hansi, Sirsuti; and other tracts were subjugated." (pp. 468-469) .
(d) A year subsequent to this. In 624 a.h. (A.D. 1227), he marched against the fort of Mandawar within the limits of the Siwalik territory (p. 11). (Raverty's translation of the Tabaqat-i-Nasiri.)
  • The Harsha inscription regards the region as Chauhans' land; and it was so also according to the Bijolia inscription, if my interpretation of the term, Ananta-Samanta is correct. No Ahichchhatrapura is to be found there at present. Dr. G.H. Ojha and Dewan Bahadur H.B. Sarda, however, think that Ahichchhatrapura still exists in the form of Nagor, a town in the Jodhpur Division. Their chief arguments for identifying the towns are:--
  • (1) That the names Ahichchhatrapura and Nagor are synonymous.
  • (2) That Nagor was at a hard day's ride from Sambhar. The Prithvirajavijaya puts Vasudeva's capital, presumably Ahichchhatrapura, at the same distance from Sambhar.
  • The synonimity, however, is doubtful, because not only Ahichchhatrapura is not an exact equivalent of Nagor or Nagapura, the exact equivalent being Ahipura, but also because Nagapura or Nagor, in spite of being a well-known Jaina tirtha, is never mentioned as Ahichchhatrapura in any Jain work. Even more unsound is the argument from the Prithvirajavijaya. The description there shows that Vasudeva passed the night in the temple of Sakambhari. (See the last verse of Canto IV.) Early in the morning, he started from there for his capital which he reached a little after sunrise. So naturally Vasudeva's capital could not have been at a hard day's ride from Sambhar, at least according to the Prithvirajavijaya.
  • But that it could have existed in this tract alone can be inferred from the fact that Vasudeva, the earliest Chauhan ruler known to us, is connected with the Sambhar lake, and another very early ruler, Nripa or Naradeva, the successor of Samanta of Ahichchhatrapura, is described as reigning at Purnatalla or Puntala in the Jodhhpur Division of Rajasthan. In verses 11 and 12 of the Bijolia inscription, Vishnu in verse 11 equals Vasudeva.
  • Ahichchhatrapura may have been somewhere between Puntala and Sambhar; at least it could not have been very far from them, for we have no evidence what so ever to put the early Chauhans in any area except that indicated in the beginning of this paragraph.

It was a Shvetambara tirtha, mentioned first time in 9th century Shvetambara work of Jayasimha entitled Dharamopadeshamala. The Jaina shrine of this place, referred to in this place, has been mentioned also by later writers. Thhere were other temples and temples of Neminatha, was built according to an epigraph in circa 1100 AD. This temple was associated with the activities to the great Kharatara Acharya Jinavallabha.At present this tirtha is associated with Adinatha. The Nagapuriya gachchha originated from this place. [14]

Nagaur district is considered to be Rome for the Jats. It is the place of origin of a large number of Jat clans mainly from Nagavanshi. Nagavanshi Jats originally ruled over this place and about 7th century onwards the Chauhans became the overlords of Nagaur and it was included in Sapadalaksha.

The foundation of city dates back to 4th century. Nagaur city was at the centre of Muslim invasion from Central Asia. The Nagaur fort is famous fort of historical importance.

The birth place of Meera and Abul Fazal, Nagaur district has a charbhuja and Parsawanath Temple at Merta and the Dargah of Sufi Saint Tarkin at Nagaur city.


The town is said to take its name from its traditional founders, the Nagas and was held successively by Prithvi Raj Chauhan, Muhammad Ghori, and the chiefs of Jodhpur, save for a time when it was possessed by the Bikaner chief by grant from Akbar, and by another Rathor family by grant from Shah Jahan. The town wall is more than 4 miles in length, between 22 and 5 feet thick, and on the average 17 feet high. The battlements bear many Arabic and Persian inscriptions, obtained from mosques demolished by Maharaja Bakht Singh in order to repair breaches caused in warfare. Of the numerous religious edifices, two Hindu temples and a five-domed mosque are especially noteworthy. [15]

The fort, rising above the town, has a double wall nearly a mile long, the outer being 25 feet and the inner 50 feet above the ground, with a thickness of more than 3o feet at the base and about 12 feet at the top. The principal objects of interest in the fort are some palaces, a fountain with seventeen jets (dating from Akbar's reign), a mosque erected by Shah Jahan, and a cave claimed by both Hindus and Musalmans as a place of retreat for their former saints. The Nagaur district furnishes a fine breed of bullocks, famous throughout Northern India.[16]

The village of Manglod (20 miles east of Nagaur town) has a very old temple with a Sanskrit inscription dated A. D. 604, which records its repair during the reign of a king Dhuhlana. This is the oldest inscription yet discovered in Jodhpur. [17]

The Rome of Jats

Nagaur district is considered to be Rome for the Jats. It is the place of origin of a large number of Jat clans, mainly from Nagavanshi, and also the great saints and reformers.

According to Dilip Singh Ahlawat [18], The Naga Jats ruled over Kantipur, Mathura, Padmavati, Kausambi, Nagpur, Champavati, (Bhagalpur) and in the central India, in western Malwa, Nagaur (Jodhpur- Rajasthan). In addition they ruled the ancient land of Shergarh, (Kota, Rajasthan), Madhya Pradesh (Central India), Chutiya Nagpur, Khairagarh, Chakra Kotiya and Kawardha. The great scholar, Jat Emperor, Bhoja Parmar, mother Shashiprabha was a maiden of a Naga Clan.

Tejaji (1074- 1103) born at Kharnal near Nagaur is considered to be folk-deity and worshiped in entire Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh by all communities. Tejaji as a historical person was born on Bhadrapad Shukla Dashmi, dated 29 January 1074, in the family of Dhaulya gotra Jats, Chaudhary Taharji (Thirraj), a chieftain of Kharnal in Nagaur district in Rajasthan.

Ranabai (10 April 1504-16 March 1570), The second Mira of Rajasthan, was born in the family of Chaudhari Jalam Singh, Ghana Jat gotra, of village Harnawa in Parbatsar tahsil of Nagaur.

Karmabai (1615 - 1634) was a famous Jat woman popularly known as Bhakt Shiromani Karmabai. She was born on 20 january 1615 in the family of Jiwanji Dudi in the village Kalwa situated in Nagaur district.

Foolabai (1664 - 1682) (also Phulabai) was a famous Jat woman popularly known as Bhakt Shiromani Foolabai. She was born in 1664 AD in the family of Jat chieftain of Manju gotra in the village Manjuwas situated at a distance of 20 km from Nagaur in Nagaur district.

The Nagaur district has special importance in the matter of Jat History being the place of origin of many Jat clans. We have provided the list of all villages in each tahsil in the article of respective tahsil head quarters place.

नागौर : ठाकुर देशराज

ठाकुर देशराज[19] ने लिखा है....नाग - यह नागहृद और नागौर में राज करते थे। इनसे सातवीं शताब्दी में यह दोनों ही स्थान निकल गए।

नागौर किला

नागौर किले के निर्माता नागवंशी जाट राजा थे जिन्होंने चौथी शताब्दी में इसका निर्माण करवाया था थी. अहिछत्रपुर (नागौर) इनकी राजधानी थी। आज जहां नागौर का किला है वहाँ इन्हीं नाग जाटों के द्वारा सर्वप्रथम चौथी सदी में धूलकोट के रूप में दुर्ग का निर्माण किया गया था। इसका नाम रखा नागदुर्ग। नागदुर्ग ही बाद में अपभ्रंश होकर नागौर कहलाया। नागौर किला का परकोटा पांच हज़ार फीट लम्बा है पहल परकोटा 25 फीट ऊँचा दूसरा परकोटा 50 फीट ऊँचा है.

पाँचवीं शताब्दी(458 ईस्वी) में नागवंशी जाट अनंतनाग का शासन था। 551 ई. के आस-पास वासुदेव नाग यहाँ का शासक था। इस वंश का उदीयमान शासक हुआ सातवीं शताब्दी में नरदेव हुआ। यह नागवंशी शासक मूलतः शिव भक्त थे। यहाँ नागौर की धरती पर नाग वंश की जाट शाखा के राव पदवी धारी जाटों ने सैकड़ो वर्षो तक राज किया था। नागौर कई बार बसा और उजड़ा, उजड़ने के कारण इसका नाम नागपट्टन भी पड़ा। नागौर किले का माही दरवाजा भी नागवंशी परंपरा का उदाहरण है। इसके प्रस्तर खंडों पर नाग-छत्र बना हुआ है। यह नागवंशी राजा आज भी नागा नाम से जाटों में जाने जाते है इन्ही नागवंशी जाटों ने मंडोर के पास नागकुंड का निर्माण करवाया था

आठवी सदी में इसी नाग वंश की काला नाग शाखा ने नागौर दुर्ग पर अधिकार कर लिया था दसवी सदी तक यहाँ काला शाखा के नाग जाटों का राज्य था । यह कालानाग वंश के असित नाग के वंशज थे। बाद में कुछ समय यह दुर्ग प्रतिहारों के अधीन रहा फिर दुबारा दहिया जाटों ने इस पर कब्ज़ा कर लिया दहिया जाट कैमास ने वैशाख सुदी 3 विक्रम संवत 1211 (1154) को नागौर के किले का पुन निर्माण करवाया इन्ही नागवंश की श्वेत शाखा (धोलिया) में तेजाजी महाराजा का जन्म हुआ.

यही वजह है कि नागौर के आस-पास चारों ओर अनेक नागवंशी मिसलों के नाम पर अनेक गांव बसे हुये हैं जैसे काला मिसल के नाम पर काल्यास, फ़िरड़ोदा का फिड़ोद, इनाणियां का इनाणा, भाकल का भाखरोद, बानों का भदाणा, भरणा का भरणगांव / भरनांवा / भरनाई, गोरा का डेह तथा धोला का खड़नाल आदि ।

चौहान सम्राट

संत श्री कान्हाराम[20] ने लिखा है कि.... [पृष्ठ-76]: ईसा की दसवीं सदी में प्रतिहारों के कमजोर पड़ने पर प्राचीन क्षत्रिय नागवंश की चौहान शाखा शक्तिशाली बनकर उभरी। अहिच्छत्रपुर (नागौर) तथा शाकंभरी (सांभर) चौहनों के मुख्य स्थान थे। चौहनों ने 200 वर्ष तक अरबों, तुर्कों, गौरी, गजनवी को भारत में नहीं घुसने दिया।

चौहनों की ददरेवा (चुरू) शाखा के शासक जीवराज चौहान के पुत्र गोगा ने नवीं सदी के अंत में महमूद गजनवी की फौजों के छक्के छुड़ा दिये थे। गोगा का युद्ध कौशल देखकर महमूद गजनवी के मुंह से सहसा निकल पड़ा कि यह तो जाहरपीर (अचानक गायब और प्रकट होने वाला) है। महमूद गजनवी की फौजें समाप्त हुई और उसको उल्टे पैर लौटना पड़ा। दुर्भाग्यवश गोगा का बलिदान हो गया। गोगाजी के बलिदान दिवस भाद्रपद कृष्ण पक्ष की गोगा नवमी को भारत के घर-घर में लोकदेवता गोगाजी की पूजा की जाती है और गाँव-गाँव में मेले भरते हैं।


[पृष्ठ-77]: चौथी पाँचवीं शताब्दी के आस-पास अनंत गौचर (उत्तर पश्चिम राजस्थान, पंजाब, कश्मीर तक) में प्राचीन नागवंशी क्षत्रिय अनंतनाग का शासन था। इसी नागवंशी के वंशज चौहान कहलाए। अहिछत्रपुर (नागौर) इनकी राजधानी थी। आज जहां नागौर का किला है वहाँ इन्हीं नागों द्वारा सर्वप्रथम चौथी सदी में धूलकोट के रूप में दुर्ग का निर्माण किया गया था। इसका नाम रखा नागदुर्ग। नागदुर्ग ही बाद में अपभ्रंश होकर नागौर कहलाया।

551 ई. के आस-पास वासुदेव नाग यहाँ का शासक था। इस वंश का उदीयमान शासक सातवीं शताब्दी में नरदेव हुआ। यह नागवंशी शासक मूलतः शिव भक्त थे। आठवीं शताब्दी में ये चौहान कहलाए। नरदेव के बाद विग्रहराज द्वितीय ने 997 ई. में मुस्लिम आक्रमणकारी सुबुक्तगीन को को धूल चटाई। बाद में दुर्लभराज तृतीय उसके बाद विग्रहराज तृतीय तथा बाद में पृथ्वीराज प्रथम हुये। इन्हीं शासकों को चौहान जत्थे का नेतृत्व मिला। इस समय ये प्रतिहारों के सहायक थे। 738 ई. में इन्होंने प्रतिहरों के साथ मिलकर राजस्थान की लड़ाई लड़ी थी।

नागदुर्ग के पुनः नव-निर्माण का श्री गणेश गोविन्दराज या गोविन्ददेव तृतीय के समय (1053 ई. ) अक्षय तृतीय को किया गया। गोविंद देव तृतीय के समय अरबों–तुर्कों द्वारा दखल देने के कारण चौहानों ने अपनी राजधानी अहिछत्रपुर से हटकर शाकंभरी (सांभर) को बनाया। बाद में और भी अधिक सुरक्षित स्थान अजमेर को अजमेर (अजयपाल) ने 1123 ई. में अपनी राजधानी बनाया। यह नगर नाग पहाड़ की पहाड़ियों के बीच बसाया था। एक काफी ऊंची पहाड़ी पर “अजमेर दुर्ग” का निर्माण करवाया था। अब यह दुर्ग “तारागढ़” के नाम से प्रसिद्ध है।

अजमेर से डिवेर के के बीच के पहाड़ी क्षेत्र में प्राचीन मेर जाति का मूल स्थान रहा है। यह मेरवाड़ा कहलाता था। अब यह अजमेर – मेरवाड़ा कहलाता है। अजयपाल ने अपने नाम अजय शब्द के साथ मेर जाति से मेर लेकर अजय+मेर = अजमेर रखा। अजमेर का नाम अजयमेरु से बना होने की बात मनगढ़ंत है। अजयपाल ने मुसलमानों से नागौर पुनः छीन लिया था। बाद में अपने पुत्र अर्नोराज (1133-1153 ई.) को शासन सौंप कर सन्यासी बन गए। अजयपाल बाबा के नाम से आज भी मूर्ति पुष्कर घाटी में स्थापित है। अरनौराज ने पुष्कर को लूटने वाले मुस्लिम आक्रमणकारियों को हराने के उपलक्ष में आना-सागर झील का निर्माण करवाया।


[पृष्ठ-78]: विग्रहराज चतुर्थ (बिसलदेव) (1153-1164 ई) इस वंश का अत्यंत पराक्रमी शासक हुआ। दिल्ली के लौह स्तम्भ पर लेख है कि उन्होने म्लेच्छों को भगाकर भारत भूमि को पुनः आर्यभूमि बनाया था। बीसलदेव ने बीसलपुर झील और सरस्वती कथंभरण संस्कृत पाठशाला का निर्माण करवाया जिसे बाद में मुस्लिम शासकों ने तोड़कर ढाई दिन का झौंपड़ा बना दिया। इनके स्तंभों पर आज भी संस्कृत श्लोक उत्कीर्ण हैं। जगदेव, पृथ्वीराज द्वितीय, सोमेश्वर चौहानों के अगले शासक हुये। सोमेश्वर का पुत्र पृथ्वीराज तृतीय (1176-1192 ई) ही पृथ्वीराज चौहान के नाम से विख्यात हुआ। यह अजमेर के साथ दिल्ली का भी शासक बना।

नागौर

विजयेन्द्र कुमार माथुर[21] ने लेख किया है ...नागौर (AS, p.491) नगर को, किंवदंती के अनुसार, नाग लोगों ने बताया था. जान पड़ता है कि नागौर का मूल नाम नागपुर रहा होगा. मुगल काल में नागौर एक प्रसिद्ध नगर था. अकबर के दरबार के रत्न अबुल फजल और फैजी के पिता शेख मुबारक नागौर के ही रहने वाले थे और नागोरी कहलाते थे.

नागौर परिचय

नागौर राजस्थान राज्य, जयपुर से उत्तर-पश्चिम में स्थित है। यह क्षेत्र प्राकऐतिहासिक है, किंतु नागौर की प्रसिद्धि मध्ययुगीन है। सपादलक्ष अर्थात् सांभर एवं नागौर चौहानों के मूल स्थान थे।

इतिहास: भारत में तुर्को के आगमन के साथ ही नागौर उनकी शक्ति का केन्द्र बन गया। नागौर महाराणा कुम्भा के अधीन भी रहा। पन्द्रहवीं-सोलहवीं शताब्दी में गुजरात के मुस्लिम शासकों की नागौर की राजनीति में दिलचस्पी रही। सन् 1534 ई. में गुजरात के शासक बहादुरशाह द्वितीय ने नागौर पर थोड़े समय के लिए अधिकार कर लिया था।

सम्राट अकबर के समय में नागौर मुग़ल साम्राज्य का अंग था। 1570 ई. में अकबर ने नागौर में दरबार लगाया था, जिसमें अनेक राजपूत राजाओं ने अकबर से मिलकर उसकी अधीनता स्वीकार कर ली थी।

राजस्थान में अजमेर के बाद नागौर ही सूफी मत का प्रसिद्ध केन्द्र रहा। यहाँ पर ख्वाजा मुइनुद्दीन चिश्ती के शिष्य शेख हमीदुद्दीन नागौरी (1192-1274 ई.) ने अपने गुरु के आदेशानुसार सूफी मत का प्रचार-प्रसार किया। यद्यपि इनका जन्म दिल्ली में हुआ था लेकिन इनका अधिकांश समय नागौर में ही बीता। इन्होंने अपना जीवन एक आत्मनिर्भर किसान की तरह गुजारा और नागौर से लगभग 2 किलोमीटर की दूरी पर स्थिति सुवाल नामक गाँव में खेती की। वे पूर्णतः शाकाहारी थे एवं अपने शिष्यों से भी शाकाहारी रहने को कहते थे। इनकी ग़रीबी को देखकर नागौर के प्रशासक ने इन्हें कुछ नकद एवं ज़मीन देने की पेशकश की, जिसको इन्होंने अस्वीकार कर दिया।

हमीदुद्दीन नागौरी समंवयवादी थे इन्होंने भारतीय वातावरण के अनुरूप सूफी आन्दोलन को आगे को आगे बढ़ाया। नागौर में चिश्ती सम्प्रदाय के इस सूफी संत की मजार आज भी याद दिला रही है। इस मजार पर मुहम्मद बिन तुग़लक़ ने एक गुम्बद का निर्माण करवाया था जो 1330 ई. में बनकर पूर्ण हुआ।

नागौर को सूफी मत के केन्द्र के रूप में पुनर्स्थापित करने की दिशा में यहाँ के सूफी संत ख्वाजा मखदूम हुसैन नागौरी (15वीं शताब्दी) का नाम उल्लेखनीय है। 16 वीं शताब्दी में नागौर में राजपूत शाक्ति के उदय के बावजूद भी नागौर सूफी सम्प्रदाय का केन्द्र बना रहा। अकबर के दरबारी शेख मुबारक के पिता एवं अबुल फ़जल के दादा शेख ख़िज़्र नागौर में ही आकर बस गये थे।

नागौर की प्राचीन इमारतों में अतारिकिन का विशाल दरवाज़ा प्रसिद्ध है, जिसे 1230 ई. में इल्तुतमिश ने बनवाया था।

जाट इतिहास

संत श्री कान्हाराम[22] ने लिखा है कि....[पृष्ठ-111]: नागौर नागों की मूल राजधानी रही है। प्राचीन काल में यहाँ पानी की झील थी। जिसमें नागवंशियों का जलमहल था। पहले शिशुनाग (शेषनाग) और बाद में वासुकि नाग यहाँ राजा था। शिशुनाग जलमहल में निवास करता था। ईसा की चौथी शताब्दी में यहाँ नागों द्वारा दुर्ग का निर्माण किया गया था। इस दुर्ग का नाम नागदुर्ग। कालांतर में नागदुर्ग शब्द ही नागौर बना।

मध्यकाल में नागौर के चारों ओर तीन सौ से चार सौ किमी के क्षेत्र में नाग गणों के गणराज्य फैले हुये थे। नाग+गण = नागाणा । इस क्षेत्र को नागाणा बोला गया। इन गण राज्यों में 99 प्रतिशत नागवंश से निकली जाट शाखा के थे। आज नागौर के चारों और 400-500 किमी तक फैली जाट जाति अकारण नहीं है। इसका ठोस कारण प्राचीन गणराज्य है।

नागौर कई बार बसा और उजड़ा, उजड़ने के कारण इसका नाम नागपट्टन भी पड़ा। नागौर किले का माही दरवाजा भी नागवंशी परंपरा का उदाहरण है। इसके प्रस्तर खंडों पर नाग-छत्र बना हुआ है। नागौर का एक नाम अहिछत्रपुर भी है जिसका उल्लेख महाभारत में है। महाभारत युद्ध में अहिछत्रपुर के राजाओं ने भी भाग लिया था। अहिछत्रपुर का अर्थ है 'नागों की छत्रछाया में बसा हुआ पुर (नगर)'। यहाँ नागौर की धरती पर नाग वंश की जाट शाखा के राव पदवी धारी जाटों ने 200 वर्ष तक राज किया था।


[पृष्ठ-128]: तेजाजी के पूर्वज धौलिया गोत्र के जाट नागवंश की चौहान शाखा (खांप) की उपशाखा खींची नख से संबन्धित थे। खींची चौहान की उपशाखा है। इनके गणराज्य जायल क्षेत्र के अंतर्गत तेजाजी के पूर्वजों का गणराज्य खरनाल आता था। तेजाजी के पूर्वज श्वेतनाग शाखा के जाट थे। चौहान उनका दल था। खींची उनकी नख थी। जाट उनका वंश था।

जायल के खींची राज्य की स्थापना करने वाले माणकराव (खिंचलवाल) की आठवीं पीढ़ी में गून्दलराव हुआ था। खींची चौहनों की एक शाखा है। सांभर के चौहान शासक सिंहराज के अनुज लक्ष्मण ने 960 ई. में नाडोल राज्य की स्थापना की थी। लक्ष्मण के वंशज आसराज (1110-1122 ई) के पुत्र माणकराव, खींची शाखा का प्रवर्तक था। वह 1111 ई. में जायल आया था। उनकी पीढ़ियाँ – 1. माणकराव 2. अजयराव 3. चन्द्र राव 4. लाखणराव 5. गोविंदराव 6. रामदेव राव 7. मानराव 8. गून्दलराव

खींची शाखा की वंशावली जायल के राम सिंह खींची के पास उपलब्ध है। रामसिंह जायल से पूर्व दिशा में एक ढाणी में रहते हैं। तेजाजी के इतिहास के शोध के दौरान जायल के सहदेव बासट जाट के साथ लेखक उनसे मेले थे।


दलीप सिंह अहलावत [23] ने पुष्टि की है कि नागवंशी जाटों का राज्य कान्तिपुर, मथुरा, पद्मावती, कौशाम्बी, अहिक्षतपुर, नागपुर, चम्पावती (भागलपुर), बुन्देलखण्ड तथा मध्यप्रान्त पश्चिमी मालवा, नागौर (जोधपुर) पर रहा. इनके अतिरिक्त शेरगढ़ कोटा राज्य की प्राचीन भूमि पर, मध्यप्रदेश में चुटिया, नागपुर, खैरागढ़, चक्रकोट एवं कवर्धा में भी इस वंश का राज्य था.

नागवंशियों का राजस्थान में आगमन

डॉ पेमाराम[24]लिखते हैं कि सिंध और पंजाब से समय-समय पर ज्यों-ज्यों जाट राजस्थान में आते गये, मरूस्थलीय प्रदेशों में बसने के साथ ही उन्होने प्रजातन्त्रीय तरीके से अपने छोटे-छोटे गणराज्य बना लिये थे जो अपनी सुरक्षा की व्यवस्था स्वयं करते थे तथा मिल-बैठकर अपने आपसी विवाद सुलझा लेते थे । ऐसे गणराज्य तीसरी सदी से लेकर सोलहवीं सदी तक चलते रहे । जैसे ईसा की तीसरी शताब्दी तक यौधेयों का जांगल प्रदेश पर अधिकार था । उसके बाद नागों ने उन्हें हरा कर जांगल प्रदेश (वर्तमान बिकानेर एवं नागौर जिला) पर अधिकार कर लिया । यौधेयों को हराने वाले पद्मावती के भारशिव नाग थे, जिन्होने चौथी शताब्दी से लेकर छठी शताब्दी तक बिकानेर, नागौर, जोधपुर तथा जालोर के जसवन्तपुरा तक शासन किया । जांगल प्रदेश में नागों के अधीन जो क्षेत्र था, उसकी राजधानी अहिच्छत्रपुर (नागौर) थी । यही वजह है कि नागौर के आस-पास चारों ओर अनेक नागवंशी मिसलों के नाम पर अनेक गांव बसे हुये हैं जैसे काला मिसल के नाम पर काल्यास, फ़िरड़ोदा का फिड़ोद, इनाणियां का इनाणा, भाकल का भाखरोद, बानों का भदाणा, भरणा का भरणगांव / भरनांवा / भरनाई, गोरा का डेह तथा धोला का खड़नाल आदि ।

छठी शताब्दी बाद नागौर पर दौ सौ साल तक गूजरों ने राज किया परन्तु आठवीं शताब्दी बाद पुनः काला नागों ने गूजरों को हराकर अपना आधिपत्य कायम किया ।

दसवीं सदी के अन्त में प्रतिहारों ने नागों से नागौर छीन लिया । इस समय प्रतिहारों ने काला नागों का पूर्णतया सफ़ाया कर दिया । थोड़े से नाग बचे वे बलाया गांव में बसे और फिर वहां से अन्यत्र गये ।
