Capital of historical Thailand Dwarabati is not the subject
of this article. Subject is Dwaraka of Mahabharata which also called Dwarabati.
Both name used in Sanskrit language .Its space time and characters existence
was in reality .Till some evidence, somewhere ruins found. Somewhere
reconstructions, somewhere archeological discovery found .With the existence of
Dwaraka it is to be agreed that dwarakadhish existed.
It is also to
be agreed with the existence of dwaraka that the king politician, expert
defense strategist, sociologist, kin chariot driver, fighter, lion hearted
dwarakadhish, the great Jadav Krishna also existed in reality. Jadav Krishna is
equally relevant till to-day. This chapter will be discussed later on. Now back
to Dwaraka .Indian Federal structure putting Delhi in centre the position of
states was recorded in Indian constitution in 1957 and subsequent times. This
also found centering Dwaraka position of other states .That is, long ago prior
to 1957 there was federal structure in ancient India. In the light of Dwaraka
it is to see what other states were. Dwaraka was ruled by Jadaves .Anarta was a
Capital/state in ancient India subsequently submerged in the sea. Due to
aggression of Jarasandha the king of Magadha, Jadavas escaping from Surasen
Mathura established their rule here.
In Mahabharata
age the states/capitals formed federal state under Dwaraka was as
follows: 1.Cadi (Jhansi district of Uttar Pradesh}2.Surasena(Mathura district
of Uttar Pradesh which is also called as Brajadham) 3.Darsana(In the south of
Cadiz)4.Karasa(East of Darsana )5.Kunti(East of Abanti state)6.Abanti( Ujjaini
district of Madhya Pradesh)7.Malab(West of Abanti)8.Gujrat(south of
Rajasthan) 9. Hea/ Haihya (Normada vally Madhya Pradesh) 10.Sourastra (South
Gujrat) 11.Dwaraka (sea coast of Gujrat}.
Rebaki wife of KrishnaBalaram was a daughter of Dwaraka. Srimati Radha was a daughter of Darsana 12.Vidarbha (North
West Maharastra).Additional some other Island states were under Dwaraka Federal
State.
Civilization
blossomed in the Ice age at the sea coastal areas. Prior to 8000 years B. C.
Dwaraka City existed, due to a great Tsunami it was submerged in the sea.
Dwaraka was one of the seven cities of the ancient India. This Dwaraka was the
capital of king Krishna, here he lived. Dwaraka is mentioned in Mahabharata
Haribansa Puran, Bhagvat Puran, Scondha Puran and Bisnu Puran.It is said that
this Dwaraka City was located near the present Dwaraka City which submerged in
the sea. This city was constructed by the great Engineer Viswakarma according
to the order of Krishna. Land of the City was begged from Sea (in other wards
land made available by filling the sea).Planning and construction made at
Western sea coast of present Surat. It is a planned city located by the river
side Gomoti. This city was known as Dwaramati, Dwarabati or Kusasthali. It had
seven well organized sectors .Residential
and Commercial sectors had broad road ,plaza, many palaces and
public places ,a public meeting hall was constructed naming Sudham
Sabha .A harbor also constructed
.There was seven lakh. Palaces made of
gold, silver and other valuable stones. So many beautiful flower gardens blossomed
throughout the year.
Sri Krishna started for Baikuntha leaving this earth after
thirty six years of Mahabharata War. Three thousand one hundred thirty eight
years B.C. and after the death of other Jadaves due to fight among themselves.
To restore security for grandson of SriKrishna and Jadav women to take them to
Hastinapur Arjun arrived at Dwaraka. After Arjun left Dwaraka it went under the
sea. In Mahabharata Arjun Said “The sea rushed towards the city, tides in high
speed entered through the roads, sea flooded the entire city. I saw beautiful
houses one by one submerging .In reality within a few minutes all is over. The
sea became calm and quiet like pond and there is no sign of the city, Dwaraka a
name only.”
The incident of
submerging Dwaraka under the sea is also mentioned in the Vishnu Puran. The day
Sri Krishna left earth was the starting of Kali Yug. Sea rose vigorously and
Dwaraka city submerged under the sea.
