Identical or Similar South Asian Jat and Western Clan Names

Prof. B.S. Dhillon ^[15] writes ....There are numerous identical or similar South Asian Jat and Western clan names. This selection presents only a sample of them. The Western clan names were mostly selected from the Ottawa Telephone Directory. A sample of the south Asian Jat and the Western equivalent clan names is as follows (the equivalent western clan name is given in the parentheses):

Bains (Bain, Baines or Vance)

Baines is a surname of English, Scottish or Welsh origin. It shares many of the same roots with the British surname Bains.^[16]^[17] It shares some roots with the British surname Bain.^[18]

Derivation and variants: Baines has a number of different sources, several of them nicknames and another based on an occupation. In Scotland and the north of England the Old English word bān ('bone') became Middle English bān and bain. It may have become a nickname in the plural, meaning 'bones' or '[long-]legs' (cf. modern German Bein, also meaning both "bone" and "leg").^[19] The Middle English bayn, beyn and the Old Norse beinn meant 'straight' or 'direct', which may have become a nickname.^[20] The Middle English bayne (and French bain) meant 'bath'. This may have become an occupational surname for an attendant at a public bath.^[21]

Baines may also have Welsh roots, from the patronymic ab Einws ('son of Einws'). Einws is a shortened version of the Welsh name Ennion, meaning 'Anvil'.^[22]

Variants of the surname Baines include Bains, Banes, Baynes and Bayns.^[23]^[24]

बैंस गोत्र

बैंस गोत्र - उड़ीसा में भुवनेश्वर के पास स्थित उदयगिरि पर मंचापुरीगुफा के ऊपरी मंजिल में गुफा के दूसरे और तीसरे द्वार के रास्ते में उठे हुये स्थान पर तीन पंक्तियों का अभिलेख (I- मंचापुरीगुफा शिलालेख) खुदा हुआ है। यह शिलालेख राजा खारवेल की प्रमुख रानी आगा-महिसी (Aga Mahishi) द्वारा जैन भिक्षुओं के लिए अर्हतों के मंदिर के निर्माण और गुफा की खुदाई का उल्लेख करता है । देवनागरी लिपि का पाठ इस प्रकार है : L.1- अरहंत पसादाय कलिंगानं समनानं लेनं कारितं राजिनो ललाकस, L.2- हथिसिहस पपोतस धुतुना कलिंग चकवतिनो सिरिखारवेलस, L.3- अगमहिसिना कारितं । अर्थात जैन अर्हतों के आशीर्वाद से कलिंग के चक्रवर्ती महाराजा खारवेल की प्रमुख महारानी, हाथीसीह (हस्ती सिंह) की परपौती और ललाक अथवा ललार्क की पुत्री, अगा-महिसी ने यह अभिलेख कलिंग के श्रमणों के लिए खुदवाया। तत्समय की परंपरा के अनुसार रनियों की पहचान अपने नाम के साथ पिता के गोत्र के साथ की जाती थी। खारवेल की प्रमुख महारानी अगा-महिसी के नाम पर विचार किया जावे तो स्पष्ट होता है कि वह 'अगा' नाम की 'महिषी' गोत्र की रानी थी।

भीमसिंह दहिया^[25] ने लिखा है कि यह संभव है कि महिषक जिनको हाथीगुंफा अभिलेख में मुसिक लिखा है, बैंस का संस्कृत रूप हो क्योंकि भारतीय भाषाओं में बैंस को भैंस बोला जाता है। ^[26]

वसाति या वैस (नागवंश) का इतिहास

दलीप सिंह अहलावत^[27] लिखते हैं कि भोगवतीपुरी का शासक नागराज वासुकि नामक सम्राट् था। यह वसाति या वैस गोत्र का था जो कि जाट गोत्र है। इस वंश का राज्य वसाति जनपद पर भी था जो रामायणकाल में पूरी शक्ति पर था। इस वंश का वैभव महाभारतकाल में और भी चमका। द्रोण पर्व में कई स्थानों पर वसाति क्षत्रियों का वर्णन है जिस से यह प्रमाणित है कि ये भी महाभारत युद्ध में सम्मिलित हुये थे¹। कुछ लेखकों को वसाति के अपभ्रंश शब्द वैस से वैश्य (बनिया) का भ्रम हो गया है। कनिंघम और मिश्रबन्धु द्वारा ऐसे लेखकों का खण्डन किया गया है। (जाटों का उत्कर्ष पृ० 319, लेखक योगेन्द्रपाल शास्त्री, जाट इतिहास उर्दू पृ० 355, लेखक ठा० संसारसिंह)। राहुल सांकृत्यायन ने अपनी पुस्तक ‘वोल्गा से गंगा’ पृ० 243 पर लिखा है कि “हर्षवर्धन का वंश वैस है जो कि क्षत्रिय वंश है। यह वंश वैश्य बनिया नहीं।”

पाठकों को ज्ञात होना चाहिए कि वैश्य (बनिया-महाजन) समाज में वैस नामक कोई गोत्र नहीं है। होशियारपुर (पंजाब) के समीप श्रीमालपुर प्राचीन काल से वसाति क्षत्रियों का निवास स्थान है। यहां का पुष्पपति नामक पुरुष अपने कुछ साथियों सहित श्रीमालपुर से चलकर कुरुक्षेत्र में आया और यहां श्रीकण्ठ (थानेश्वर बसाकर इसके चारों ओर के प्रदेश का राजा बन गया। यह शैव धर्म का कट्टर अनुयायी था। इसका पुत्र नरवर्द्धन 505 ई० में सिंहासन पर बैठा। इस के पुत्र राज्यवर्द्धन और आदित्यवर्द्धन पहले गुप्तों के सामन्त (जागीरदार) थे और बाद में थानेश्वर के महाराजा हुए। आदित्यवर्द्धन की महारानी महासेनगुप्ता नामक गुप्तवंश की कन्या थी। इससे

जाट वीरों का इतिहास: दलीप सिंह अहलावत, पृष्ठान्त-243

पुत्र प्रभाकरवर्द्धन की उत्पत्ति हुई। ए० स्मिथ के लेख अनुसार प्रभाकरवर्द्धन की यह माता गुप्तवंश (धारण जाट गोत्र) की थी जिसने अपने पुत्र में उच्चाकांक्षाएं उत्पन्न कीं और उनकी पूर्ति में यथाशक्ति सहायता दी।

पुष्पभूति वंश का पहला महान् शासक प्रभाकरवर्द्धन था। राज्यकवि बाणभट्ट की प्रांजल भाषा में यह प्रभाकरवर्द्धन - “हूणरूपी हरिण के लिए सिंह, सिंधुदेश के राजा के लिए ज्वर, गुर्जरों की नींद नष्ट करने वाला, गांधारराजा रूपी हाथी के लिए कूट हस्तिज्वर, लाटों (गुजरात) की चतुरता को हरण करने वाला और मालव देश की लता रूपी लक्ष्मी के लिए कुठार (फरसा) था।” उसने हूणों को पराजित किया तथा सिंधु, उत्तरी गुजरात आदि को अपने अधीन किया। यह होते हुए भी उसने उन विजित राज्यों को छीना नहीं।

प्रभाकरवर्द्धन की रानी यशोमती से राज्यवर्द्धन का जन्म हुआ। उसके चार वर्ष बाद पुत्री राजश्री और उसके दो वर्ष बाद 4 जून 590 ई० को हर्षवर्द्धन का शुभ जन्म हुआ। राज्यश्री का विवाह मौखरीवंशी¹ (जाट गोत्र) कन्नौज नरेश ग्रहवर्मा के साथ हुआ था। किन्तु मालवा और मध्य बंगाल के गुप्त शासकों ने ग्रहवर्मा को मारकर राज्यश्री को कन्नौज में ही बन्दी बना दिया। इनमें मालवा का गुप्तवंश का राजा देवगुप्त था और मध्य बंगाल का गुप्तवंश का राजा शशांक था जो दोनों ही धारण² गोत्री जाट शासक थे। थानेश्वर में यह सूचना उस समय मिली जबकि सम्राट् प्रभाकरवर्द्धन की मृत्यु सन् 605 ई० में हुई थी, जिस के कारण शोक की घटाएं छाई हुईं थीं। इसके बाद उसके बड़े पुत्र राज्यवर्द्धन ने राजगद्दी सम्भाली। उसने 10 हजार सेना के साथ मालवा पर आक्रमण करके देवगुप्त का वध कर दिया। फिर वहां से बंगाल पर आक्रमण करने के लिए वहां पहुंच गया। परन्तु मध्यबंगाल में गौड़ जनपद के गुप्तवंशी (धारण जाट गोत्र) राजा शशांक ने अपनी पुत्री के साथ राज्यवर्द्धन का विवाह कर देने का वचन देकर विश्वास प्राप्त कर लिया और अपने महलों में बुलाकर राज्यवर्द्धन का वध कर दिया। ---

+== Identical or Similar South Asian Jat and Western Clan Names ==
+[[Prof. B.S. Dhillon]] <ref>[[History and study of the Jats/Chapter 10]], p.128</ref> writes
+....There are numerous identical or similar South Asian Jat and Western clan names. This selection presents only a sample of them. The Western clan names were mostly selected from the Ottawa Telephone Directory. A sample of the south Asian Jat and the Western equivalent clan names is as follows (the equivalent western clan name is given in the parentheses):
+[[Bains]] ([[Bain]], [[Baines]] or [[Vance]])
+[[Baines]] is a surname of English, Scottish or Welsh origin. It shares many of the same roots with the British surname Bains.<ref>Reaney, P.H. A Dictionary of British Surnames Routledge & Kegan Paul, 2nd edition (1976)</ref><ref>Hanks, P. & Hodges, F. A Dictionary of Surnames Oxford University Press (1988)</ref> It shares some roots with the British surname Bain.<ref>Reaney, P.H. A Dictionary of British Surnames Routledge & Kegan Paul, 2nd edition (1976)</ref>
+'''Derivation and variants''': Baines has a number of different sources, several of them nicknames and another based on an occupation. In Scotland and the north of England the Old English word bān ('bone') became Middle English bān and bain. It may have become a nickname in the plural, meaning 'bones' or '[long-]legs' (cf. modern German Bein, also meaning both "bone" and "leg").<ref>Reaney, P.H. A Dictionary of British Surnames Routledge & Kegan Paul, 2nd edition (1976)</ref> The Middle English bayn, beyn and the Old Norse beinn meant 'straight' or 'direct', which may have become a nickname.<ref>Reaney, P.H. A Dictionary of British Surnames Routledge & Kegan Paul, 2nd edition (1976)</ref> The Middle English bayne (and French bain) meant 'bath'. This may have become an occupational surname for an attendant at a public bath.<ref>Reaney, P.H. A Dictionary of British Surnames Routledge & Kegan Paul, 2nd edition (1976)</ref>
+Baines may also have Welsh roots, from the patronymic ab Einws ('son of Einws'). Einws is a shortened version of the Welsh name Ennion, meaning 'Anvil'.<ref>Hanks, P. & Hodges, F. A Dictionary of Surnames Oxford University Press (1988)</ref>
+Variants of the surname Baines include Bains, Banes, Baynes and Bayns.<ref>Reaney, P.H. A Dictionary of British Surnames Routledge & Kegan Paul, 2nd edition (1976)</ref><ref>Hanks, P. & Hodges, F. A Dictionary of Surnames Oxford University Press (1988)</ref>
+== बैंस गोत्र ==
+'''[[Bains|बैंस]] गोत्र''' -  उड़ीसा में [[Bhubaneswar|भुवनेश्वर]] के पास स्थित '''[[Udayagiri Orissa|उदयगिरि]]''' पर  [[Manchapuri|मंचापुरीगुफा]] के ऊपरी मंजिल में गुफा के दूसरे और तीसरे द्वार के रास्ते में उठे हुये स्थान पर तीन पंक्तियों का अभिलेख ('''I- [[Manchapuri|मंचापुरीगुफा]]  शिलालेख''') खुदा हुआ है। यह शिलालेख [[Kharavela| राजा खारवेल]] की प्रमुख रानी '''आगा-महिसी''' (Aga Mahishi) द्वारा जैन भिक्षुओं के लिए अर्हतों के मंदिर के निर्माण और गुफा की खुदाई का उल्लेख करता है ।  देवनागरी लिपि का पाठ इस प्रकार है : L.1- अरहंत पसादाय कलिंगानं समनानं लेनं कारितं राजिनो ललाकस, L.2- हथिसिहस पपोतस धुतुना कलिंग चकवतिनो सिरिखारवेलस,
+L.3- अगमहिसिना कारितं । अर्थात जैन अर्हतों के आशीर्वाद से कलिंग के चक्रवर्ती महाराजा '''खारवेल की प्रमुख महारानी''', [[Hathisiha|हाथीसीह]] ([[Hasti Simha|हस्ती सिंह]]) की परपौती और [[Lalaka|ललाक]] अथवा [[Lalarka|ललार्क]] की पुत्री, '''[[Agamahisi|अगा-महिसी]]''' ने यह अभिलेख कलिंग के श्रमणों के लिए खुदवाया। तत्समय की परंपरा के अनुसार रनियों की पहचान अपने नाम के साथ पिता के गोत्र के साथ की जाती थी। खारवेल की प्रमुख महारानी '''[[Agamahishi|अगा-महिसी]]''' के नाम पर विचार किया जावे तो स्पष्ट होता है कि वह 'अगा' नाम की 'महिषी' गोत्र की रानी थी।
+[[Bhim Singh Dahiya|भीमसिंह दहिया]]<ref>[[Bhim Singh Dahiya]] : [[Jats the Ancient Rulers ( A clan study)]], p. 195</ref> ने लिखा है कि यह संभव है कि [[Mahishaka|महिषक]]  जिनको हाथीगुंफा अभिलेख में [[Musika|मुसिक]] लिखा है, [[Bains|बैंस]] का संस्कृत रूप हो क्योंकि भारतीय भाषाओं में [[Bains|बैंस]] को भैंस बोला जाता है। <ref>ASI, 1971-73, Vol. VI, P. 47.</ref>
