Variants of name

• Jabalpur जबलपुर (म.प्र.) (AS, p.355)

• Jabalipura (जाबालिपुर) (AS, p.363)

Origin of name

The city derives name from the legendary sage Jabali (जाबाली), mentioned in Ramayana. According to Bhedaghat folklore, a small cave on the bank of the Narmada River was Jabali's ashram. Variations of the name include Jabalipuram and Jubbulgarh, and under British rule the city was known as Jubbulpore. In 2006, the Jabalpur Municipal Corporation renamed the city Jabalipuram.

History

Mythology describes three Asuras in the Jabalpur region who were defeated by Shiva. In Rupnath, 84 kms north of the city, Ashokan relics dating to 300 BCE have been found as evidence of the Maurya Empire (322 to 185 BCE). When the empire fell, Jabalpur became a city-state before it was ruled by the Satavahana dynasty (230 BCE to 220 CE). Local rulers, including the Bodhis and the Senas, followed before the region became a vassal state of the Gupta Empire (320 to 550).

From 675 to 800, the region was ruled by Bamraj Dev of the Kalachuri dynasty from Karanbel. The best known Kalachuri ruler was Yuvraj Dev I (reigned 915 to 945), who married Nohla Devi (a princess of the Chalukya dynasty). One of the Kalachuri amatya (ministers) was Golok Simha Kayastha, who was instrumental in founding the Chausath Yogini Temple near Bhedaghat. His descendants include Bhoj Simha, adviser to Sangramsahi (reigned 1491–1543); Adhar Simha, adviser to Rani Durgavati (reigned 1550–1564) and Beohar Raghuvir Sinha, jagirdar of Jabalpur until 1947.

The Gond king, Madan of Mandla, (reigned 1138 to 1157 CE) built a small Durgavati hilltop fort at Madan Mahal, an area in Jabalpur. In the 1500s, the Gond king, Sangram (whose son married Rani Durgavati) held Singaurgarh fort in Sangrampur (near Garha, Jabalpur).

In 1564, during the reign of Veer Narayan (Sangram's grandson), Abdul Majeed Harawi (viceroy of Kara-Manikpur in the Mughal Empire) conquered Jabalpur and its surrounds. However, the Mughal supremacy in Jabalpur was more nominal than real.

In 1698, the Gond king, Hriday (reigned 1652 to 1704) moved his court to the Mandla fort. He secured water sources and built irrigation structures. The last Gondi ruler was Nizam (reigned 1753 to 1780). After Nizam, the Gondi kingdom fell to the Maratha.

The Maratha rulers of Sagar Madhya Pradesh came to power in about 1781. Around 1798, the Maratha Peshwa (governor) gave the Nerbuddah valley to the Bhonsle kings of Nagpur, who ruled the area until 1818 when it was taken by the British East India Company after the Battle of Sitabuldi.

जबलपुर

विजयेन्द्र कुमार माथुर ने लेख किया है ...जबलपुर (म.प्र.) (AS, p.355): इस नगर का प्राचीन नाम जाबालिपुर या जाबालिपत्तन कहा जाता है. जाबालि पुराणों में वर्णित एक ऋषि का नाम है. रानी दुर्गावती के संबंध के कारण जबलपुर इतिहास में प्रसिद्ध है. तत्कालीन बस्ती के खंडहर वर्तमान नगर से 5 मील दूर पुरवा नामक ग्राम के निकट हैं (देखें:पुरवा)

जबलपुर परिचय

जबलपुर शहर मध्य प्रदेश राज्य, मध्य भारत में स्थित है। यह नर्मदा नदी के उत्तर में निचली पहाड़ियों से घिरे चट्टानी बेसिन में झीलों और मंदिरों के बीच स्थित है। इस नगर में उच्च-न्यायालय भी स्थित है। जबलपुर में साक्षरता, संस्कृति, सामाजिक और राजनीतिक गतिविधियों की लंबी परंम्परा रही है। जबलपुर अंग्रेज़ी, हिन्दी और उर्दू के कई लेखकों, प्रकाशकों व मुद्रकों का आवास क्षेत्र रहा है।

इतिहास: पुराणों और किंवदंतियों के अनुसार जबलपुर का संबंध जाबालि ऋषि से है। जिनके बारे में कहा जाता है कि वह यहीं निवास करते थे। 1781 के बाद ही मराठों के मुख्यालय के रूप में चुने जाने पर इस नगर की सत्ता बढ़ी, बाद में यह सागर और नर्मदा क्षेत्रों के ब्रिटिश कमीशन का मुख्यालय बन गया। यहाँ 1864 में नगरपालिका का गठन हुआ था। एक पहाड़ी पर मदन महल स्थित है, जो लगभग 1100 ई. में राजा मदन सिंह द्वारा बनवाया गया एक पुराना गोंड महल है। इसके ठीक पश्चिम में गढ़ है, जो 14वीं शताब्दी के चार स्वतंत्र गोंड राज्यों का प्रमुख नगर था। भेड़ाघाट, ग्वारीघाट और जबलपुर से प्राप्त जीवाश्मों से संकेत मिलता है कि यह प्रागैतिहासिक काल के पुरापाषाण युग के मनुष्य का निवास स्थान था। मदन महल, नगर में स्थित कई ताल और गोंड राजाओं द्वारा बनवाए गए कई मंदिर इस स्थान की प्राचीन महिमा की जानकारी देते हैं। इस क्षेत्र में कई बौद्ध, हिन्दू और जैन भग्नावशेष भी हैं।

पुरवा

विजयेन्द्र कुमार माथुर ने लेख किया है....जबलपुर (AS, p.565) से 5 मील दूर इस पुरबा कस्बे में, भूमि से तीन सौ फुट ऊँची पहाड़ी पर कई प्राचीन भवनों के खंडहर अवस्थित हैं। इनमें पिसनहारी की मढ़िया अति प्रसिद्ध है। कहा जाता है कि इस मंदिर को गोंडवाना की महारानी दुर्गावती की समकालीन किसी चक्की पीसने वाली अज्ञातनाम स्त्री ने बनवाया था। यह स्थान महाकोशल के दिगंबर जैनों द्वारा पवित्र माना जाता है और यहाँ प्रतिवर्ष मेला भी लगता है। मंदिर तक जाने के लिए एक घुमावदार रास्ता है और पहाड़ी पर चढ़ने के लिए दो सौ आठ सीढ़ियाँ बनी हैं।

पिसनहारी की मढ़िया के पार्श्व में केवल दो शैलखंडों पर खड़ा हुआ 'मदन महल' मुग़ल सम्राट अकबर से लोहा लेने वाली वीरांगना दुर्गावती का अमर स्मारक है। पास ही संग्राम सागर नामक एक विशाल झील है, जो दुर्गावती के सचिव सरदार संग्राम सिंह की स्मृति संजोए हुए है। पुरवा के निकट ही गोंड नरेशों के समय के खंडहर दूर तक फैले हुए हैं, इन्हीं में महारानी दुर्गावती का हाथीखाना भी है। यहीं पर आमवास नामक स्थान है, जिसके बारे में किंवदंती है कि किसी समय यहाँ आम के एक लाख वृक्ष थे।
