History

Sambhal was formerly named "Bhimnagar" in Uttar Pradesh. But now it is Sambhal. It was known by names Satyavrata (सत्यव्रत), Mahadgiri (महद गिरि), Pingala (पिंगल), Shambala (शम्बल) etc. Its ancient name was Shambhupallika (शम्भूपल्लिक) in Sambhal Copper-Plate of Nagabhata II; Vikrama samvata 885.

According to Puranas after the end of Kaliyuga the God Kalki will take birth in village Shambal, which local tradition identifies to be this place. [1]

H.A. Rose[2] writes about Chauhan (चौहान), a great Rajput tribe, one of the Agnikulas, and also one of the 36 (royal) ruling races. Tod calls them the most valiant of the whole Rajput race, and to them belonged Pirthi Raj, the last Hindu ruler of Hindustan. Before the seat of their power was moved to Delhi, Ajmer and Sambhar in Jaipur seem to have been their home. After their ejectment from Delhi they are said to have crossed the Jumna to Sambhal in Muradabad, and there still dwell the genealogists and bards of the Chauhan of the Nardak of Karnal and Ambala in which Districts they have retained their dominant position more than elsewhere in the Punjab.

According to K. Devi Singh Mandawa, Prithviraja III's kaka Kanhadadeva was a great warrior. He was known as Kaka Kanha and present Alwar district's northern part, Sambhal and Moradabad were in his Jagir. He constructed a Shiva temple at Saraneshwara. Kanha'd damad was killed in war with Kutubuddin and his daughter named Bela became a sati. There is a temple of Bela in Sambhal where a fair is organized every year.[3]

संभल (जिला मुरादाबाद, उ.प्र.)

संभल (AS, p.929): उत्तर प्रदेश के मुरादाबाद ज़िले में स्थित एक प्राचीन तीर्थ स्थल है। पुराणों में सत्ययुग, त्रेता, द्वापर और कलियुग में इसके नाम क्रमश: सत्यव्रत, महद्गिरि, पिंगल और सम्भल या शंबल वर्णित हैं। पौराणिक मान्यता है कि कलियुग में कल्कि अवतार शंबल नामक ग्राम में होगा, जिसका अभिज्ञान लोकविश्वास में इसी नगर से किया जाता है। यह इतिहासकार टॉलमी द्वारा उल्लिखित 'संबलक' है। (दे. शंबल) [4]

मध्य काल में सम्भल का सामरिक महत्त्व बढ़ गया था, क्योंकि यह आगरा व दिल्ली के निकट स्थित है। सम्भल की जागीर मुग़ल बादशाह बाबर के आक्रमण के समय उसके सरदारों के हाथ में थी। बाबर ने हुमायूँ को संभल की जागीर दी थी, लेकिन वहाँ वह बीमार हो गया, अतः आगरा लाया गया। इस प्रकार बाबर के बाद हुमायूँ ने साम्राज्य को भाइयों में बाँट दिया और सम्भल अस्करी को मिला। शेरशाह सूरी ने हुमायूँ को खदेड़ दिया और अपने दामाद मुबारिज़ ख़ाँ को सम्भल की जागीर दी। अब्बास ख़ाँ शेरवानी के अनुसार बाबर के सेनापतियों ने यहाँ कई मन्दिरों को तोड़ा था और जैन मूर्तियों का खण्डन किया।[5]

शंबल

शंबल (AS, p.886): विष्णुपुराण 4,24,98 में शंबलग्राम में भविष्य के कल्कि अवतार होने का उल्लेख है- ‘शंबलग्रामप्रधानब्राह्मणस्यविष्णुयशसोगृहेऽष्टगुणार्द्धिसमन्वितः कल्किरूपी जगत्यात्रावतीर्य स्वधर्मेषु चाखिलमेव संस्थापयिष्यति’। कुछ लोगों के मत में शंबल ग्राम वर्तमान संभल (जिला मुरादाबाद, उत्तर प्रदेश) है। [6]

पिंगल

विजयेन्द्र कुमार माथुर[7] ने लेख किया है ...1. पिंगल (AS, p.556): पुराणों के अनुसार संभल (जिला मुरादाबाद, उत्तर प्रदेश) का एक नाम जहां विष्णु का आगामी कल्कि अवतार होगा.

महद्गिरि

महद् गिरि (AS, p.719): पुराणों में संभवत: वर्तमान संभल (जिला मुरादाबाद, उत्तर प्रदेश) का एक नाम. कहा जाता है कि भविष्य का कल्कि अवतार संभल में ही होगा.

Sambhal Copper-Plate of Nagabhata II of V.S. 885 (828 AD)[8]

Reference - From Gurjar Samaj Site [9]


This is the first known charter of Nagabhatdeva, the son of Vatsarajadeva from Sundari Devi and the grandson of Devasaktideva, though there is an inscription of his time –the Buchkala inscription from Jodhpur region dated in the Vikrama year 872 (AD 815). That he was Nagabhata II, the fourth ruler of the Gurjara Pratihara family is too clear to require demonstration. It is well-known that he, after having defeated Chakrayudha before AD 815, annexed his kingdom and transferred his seat of government to Kanauj, which henceforth continued to be the capital of the dynasty.

This grant also exposes R.C. Majumdar who was the historian of Pala from Bengal, and he willfully did cheating at many places in the history written by him. He said that” if Nagabhata really transferred his capital (to Kanauj), it is very likely towards the close of his reign circa AD 830 after (the Pala king) Dharmapala had died and his son and successor Devapala had enjoyed the position of the supreme ruler of northern India.” He was such a great cheat that he translated Gwalior Sagartal inscription and translated the term Pratiharan Vidherya as door keeper, whereas this term translate to the style of Gujjar Pratihars that surprise, defeat and kill the enemy at his own land with a magical speed, like Laxmana killed Meghnada in Ramayana.

The grant was written by Giyaka, the Dutaka being the Yuvaraja named Rama who was loved by all. The identity of Giyaka remains obscure. Rama is evidently Ramabhadra, also called Ramadeva, who was the son of Nagabhatadeva II from Istadevi and father of Bhojadeva I. The association of a crown prince, with the office of the Dutaka calls for attention. This is not the only case of an heir-apparent being charged with the conveyance of the grant. The Daulatpura Didwana plate of the Pratihara king Bhojadeva I, dated in the Vikrama year 900 (843 AD), refers to Dutaka Yuvaraja Nagabhata ( Ep. Ind., V. p. 209.). Records of other families refer to crown princes discharging the same function. Sometimes this office was combined with that of a Dandapasika (an official connected with police and judiciary) Dandapasika Amaraditya was the Dutaka of the Ahar stone inscription.

The copperplate, contents of which are published here for the first time was obtained in May 1993 by Sri Taufiq Ahmed Qadri Chisti. an antique dealer of Amroha, from one of the shops selling old and broken articles at Sambhal in the Moradabad district of UP.1.

Translation

Om. May it be well! From the royal military camp furnished with many bullock carts, elephants, horses, chariots and foot-soldiers, which is situated at the glorious Mahodaya—(there was ) the devout worshipper of Visnu, the Maharaja Saktideva, his son, born of Bhuyikadevi, was the devout worshipper of Mahesvara, the maharaja Vatsarajadeva, who meditated on his (father’s) feet; his son, born of Sundaridevi was the maharaja Nagabhatadeva who was greatly devoted to (the goddess) Bhagavati and a mediator on the feet of his (father)—(the, that is, Nagabhatadeva) (thus) commands all the inhabitants and the officers appointed to several offices, assembled at the Agrahara village of Sambhupallika attached to the Gunapura sub-division and district in the division of Ahichchhatra: After having seen the royal order and been acquainted with the periodical offerings, the above mentioned Agrahara together with all the income, exclusive of all the gifts already granted for the gods and Brahmanas, have been given away by me to endure as long as the Moon, the Sun and the Earth exist, for the increase of the religious merit of my parents to the Brahmanas-Bhatta Suryarata, Bhatta Nagarata, Bhatta Ravirata and Bhatta Narayanrata—born of the family of Bhatta Prabhakararata of the Bharadvaja gotra and the Madhyandina-Vajasaneya Sakha, in accordance with the previous enjoyment. Knowing this, you should assent to it; the residents (of the village) also being obedient on hearing the order should make over all the dues to these donees. Of the firmly enduring charter, written by Giyaka, the dutaka is here the crown prince Rama, a favorite of peoples. Recorded on the Seventh day of the dark fortnight of Jyestha in the Samvat 885.
