History

Karavira (करवीर) is a place name mentioned by Panini under Sakhyadi (सख्यादि) (4.2.80.9) group. [3]

Rajatarangini[4] tells ....Among the trees, karavira alone, owing to the loveliness of its floors, has the dignity of beauty, and the flowers become useful in the worship of the Shivalinga. So among the several ministers of the king, one alone named Bhuṭṭa, younger brother of Jahlu (?), attained, dignified excellence. The offering which he made to Mahadeva the Jyeshtarudra, otherwise called the Bālakeshvara, and set up by Vashishta, was accepted by the god who appeared in person. There he built a town without a defect, named Bhuṭṭapura with maṭhas, religious schools and high buildings. In the capital also he set up a Hara, named Bhuṭṭeshvara, and in the village of Maḍava he excavated a tank named Dharmmavibhramadarpana. (p.217)

करवीर

विजयेन्द्र कुमार माथुर[5] ने लेख किया है ...1. Karavira (करवीर) (AS, p.140): करवीर एक वन है जो गुजरात राज्य के द्वारका के निकट सुकक्ष नामक पर्वत के एक ओर स्थित था। 'सुकक्षं परिवार्यैनं चित्रपुष्पं महावनम्, शतपत्रवनं चैव करवीर कुसुंभि च।' ( सभा पर्व महाभारत 38 दाक्षिणात्य पाठ)

विजयेन्द्र कुमार माथुर[6] ने लेख किया है ...2. Karavira (करवीर) (AS, p.140): कोल्हापुर (महाराष्ट्र) का प्राचीन पौराणिक नाम था। इसे काराष्ट्र के अंतर्गत माना गया है। करवीर क्षेत्र को पुराणों तथा महाभारत में पुण्यस्थली कहा है- 'क्षेत्रं वै करवीराख्यं क्षेत्रं लक्ष्मीविनिर्मितम्' (स्कंद पुराण, सह्यादि. उत्तरार्ध 2,25) करवीरपुरे स्नात्वा विशालायां कृतोदक: देवहृदमुपस्पृश्य ब्रह्मभूतो विराजते।' (अनुशासन पर्व महाभारत 25,44)

पौराणिक संदर्भ: 'करवीर क्षेत्र माहात्म्य' तथा 'लक्ष्मी विजय' के अनुसार कौलासुर दैत्य को वर प्राप्त था कि वह स्त्री द्वारा ही मारा जा सकेगा, अतः विष्णु स्वयं महालक्ष्मी रूप में प्रकट हुए और सिंहारूढ़ होकर करवीर में ही उसको युद्ध में परास्त कर संहार किया। मृत्यु पूर्व उसने देवी से वर याचना की कि उस क्षेत्र को उसका नाम मिले। देवी ने वर दे दिया और वहीं स्वयं भी स्थित हो गईं, तबसे इसे 'करवीर क्षेत्र' कहा जाने लगा, जो कालांतर में 'कोल्हापुर' हो गया। माँ को कोलासुरा मर्दिनी कहा जाने लगा। पद्मपुराणानुसार यह क्षेत्र 108 कल्प प्राचीन है एवं इसे महामातृका कहा गया है, क्योंकि यह आद्याशक्ति का मुख्य पीठस्थान है।[7]
