Rajgir Bihar
Rajgir
is
also
famous
for
its
association
with
Haryanka
dynasty
Kings
Bimbisara
(558–491
BC)
and
Ajatashatru
(492–460
BC)
as
their
capital
city.
Ajatashatru
kept
his
father
Bimbsara
in
captivity
here.
The
sources
do
not
agree
which
of
the
Buddha's
royal
contemporaries,
Bimbisara
and
Ajatashatru,
was
responsible
for
its
construction.
Ajatashatru
is
also
credited
with
moving
the
capital
to
Pataliputra
(modern
Patna). The
name
Rajgir
came
from
Rājagṛiha,
meaning
"house
of
the
king"
or
"royal
house",
or
the
word
Rajgir
might
have
its
origin
in
its
plain
literal
meaning,
"royal
mountain".
It
was
the
ancient
capital
city
of
the
Magadha
kings
until
the
5th
century
BC
when
Udayin(460–440
BC),
son
of
Ajatshatru,
moved
the
capital
to
Pataliputra.[9]
In
those
days,
it
was
called
Rajgriha,
which
translates
as
'the
home
of
Royalty'. Shishunaga
(413-395
BC)
founded
Shishunaga
dynasty
in
413
BCE
with
Rajgir
as
its
initial
capital
before
it
was
moved
to
Pataliputra. The
epic
Mahabharata
calls
it
Girivraja
and
recount
the
story
of
its
king,
Jarasandha,
and
his
battle
with
the
Pandava
brothers
and
their
allies
Krishna.
Jarasandha
who
hailed
from
this
place,
had
been
defeated
by
Krishna
17
times.
The
18th
time
Krishna
left
the
battlefield
without
fighting.[10]
Because
of
this
Krishna
is
also
called
'ranachorh'
(one
who
has
left
the
battlefield).[11]
Mahabharata
recounts
a
wrestling
match
between
Bhima
(one
of
the
Pandavas)
and
Jarasandha,
the
then
king
of
Magadha.
Jarasandha
was
invincible
as
his
body
could
rejoin
any
dismembered
limbs.
According
to
the
legend,
Bhim
split
Jarasandha
into
two
and
threw
the
two
halves
facing
opposite
to
each
other
so
that
they
could
not
join.
There
is
a
famous
Jarasandha's
Akhara
(place
where
martial
arts
are
practiced).
