Indian Medieval History of Katyuri Kings of 8th -9th Centuries

History of Uttarakhand (Garhwal, Kumaon, Haridwar) - Part 97

   Indian Early Medieval History of Katyuri Imperialism in Kumaon, Garhwal and Haridwar (Uttarakhand) -8

          (Indian Medieval Age History of Garhwal, Kumaon, Haridwar (Uttarakhand))
                          (Asian Medieval History (740-1100 AD)

                                 ByBhishma Kukreti

                          The inscriptions of Katyuri kings provide history accounts of this age.

                                   Kharapdev Katyuri King      
           
                         Kharpardev was grandson of Vasantandev Katyuri king. His father was public benefiting king. The official title of Kharapdev was Parambhattarak Maharajdhiraj Parmeshwar. That shows that Kharapdev Katyuri kingdom was totally free nation. The rock inscription o r administrative order inscriptions do not provide much detail about Kharapdev Katyuri king.

                                      Adhidhaj Katyuri King

                Adhidhaj Katyuri was son of Kharapdev Katyuri. His title was Parambhattarak Maharajdhiraj Parmeshwar. In inscription, Adhidhaj was described as scholar, prosperous and respected king.
                His queen was Laddhadevi. They had two sons Tribhuvanrajdev and another prince. Queen Labdhadevi was very much dedicated to her husband.

                                         Tribhuvanrajdev Katyuri King

            Tribhuvanrajdev did not have any title as Parambhattarak Maharajdhiraj. That suggests that he had troubles from neighboring countries. The Khalimpur inscriptions state that the officers of Dharampal  a visited Kedar pilgrimage place around 800 AD.  Therefore, he could not get title of Parambhattarak Maharajdhiraj.
                       Tribhuvanrajdev donated a fertile land of Jaykulbhaktika to Byaghreshwar temple. He ordered for producing necessary materials for temple in this land.  On the eleven years of his ruling his brother donated bigger land to Byaghreshwar temple.
  There is mention of a Kirat putra on the inscription who was friend of Tribhuvarajdev. Kirat Putra donated separate land for Byaghreshwar temple and Gyabiypind/Gamviya deity.

                             Brother of Tribhuvanrajdev Katyuri King

 Inscription states that Adhidhaj had two sons. However, his name is not found on inscriptions. This anonym king (brother of Tribhuvanrajdev) donated more land than Tribhuvanrajdev. This anonyms king donated land to Bharke(Bhairav or Bhatku) , Byaghreshwar and Chandalmunda deities. The said king did donate a Pyau or water source.
