Chitragupt Bhagwan
Hindu Mythology believes that the entire world, as we know it, was
created by LORD BRAMHA, the Creator. He has created plants, animals, sea,
mountains and the human being. Lord Bramha first created 16 Sons from various
parts of his own body. Mythology states that humans created from the 'mouth'
portion of Brahma were Brahmins, those from arms were 'Kshatriyas', those from
the thighs were 'Vaishyas' and those from the feet were 'Shudras'. He asked
'Surya' to take care and protect the universe and himself went into deep
meditation for ten thousand of years. Thereafter when he opened his eyes he saw
an illustrious man with broad shoulders, eyes like a lotus, long neck and
carrying a pen and inkpot in the hands. Brahma asked that man who he was. The
man replied that he was born out of Brahma (Shri Chitragupt Ji, his 17th
creation, is believed to be the creation from Lord Bramha's Mind & Soul)
and asked to give him a name and allocate duties. Brahma told him that as he
was born out of his body (kaya) he would be classed as 'Kayastha' and he would
be called by the name of 'Chitragupt' on the earth.
Shri Chitragupt Ji is divine incarnation in human form called Kayastha since he is the only creation of Lord Bramha, created in entirety [KAYA] from the lords body, unlike the other 16 sons who were created only from various parts of the body. Shri Chitragupt Ji (& hence the Kayastha's) were accorded a dual caste status, namely KSHATRITYA [Warrior] and BRAHMIN [The Learned].

Hindu Mythology is based on a multiple phase life cycle involving
re-birth. It is believed that those who do not attain a balance between their
good-deeds and misdoing, have to attain re-birth in any living form, to
complete the LIFE CYCLE.
The primary duty awarded to Shri Chitragupt Ji was to create LOG
of the lives of all living beings, judge their lives based on good-deeds and
misdoing, and s death, whether they will attain NIRVANA [Completion of their
LIFE CYCLE & redemption from all worldly troubles] or receive punishment
for their misdoing in another life form, till they attain NIRVANA. He was asked
by Brahma to perform his duties of keeping an account of every person good and
bad deeds in the offices of Dharma Raj, supposed to be situated in 'Yampuri'.
The Kayastha Parivar believes in WORLD PEACE, JUSTICE, KNOWLEDGE
and LITERACY, the four primary virtues depicted by the form of Shree
Chitraguptjee. The community, world-wide, strives to attain these virtues and
promote the same, in line with the teachings of their supreme lord. Empowered
with powerful traits such as SELF RESPECT, SELF ESTEEM, INTELLIGENCE,
COMMONSENSE & PRESENCE OF MIND, AESTHETIC SENSE, BENEVOLENCE, Kayastha's
are PROGRESSIVE & ADAPTIVE. Over the centuries, the community established
excellence in ACADEMICS, ADMINISTRATION, LEGAL JUSTICE, SCIENCE & FINE-ARTS.
The Kayastha Community is religiously inclined & very close-knit. They strive to fight social injustice in society. They instill values of religion & culture. Academics has a very important place in the life of a Kayastha. Sincerity & Hard Work are always respected and awarded. Social reform through adoption of economically backward families from within the community, and hence their emancipation, is a known way of KAYASTHA service to their community.

Chitragupta was also blessed to produce his progeny.
He had twelve sons and named as follows :-
Srivastava, Surajdwaj, Nigam, Kulshreshth, Mathur, Karna, Saxena,
Gaud, Asthana. Ambasht, Bhatnagar and Bulmik.
Thus as the story goes 'Chitragupta' was the progenitor of us, the
Kayasthas, and it is therefore our duty to worship him and offer our Prayers.
This is an argumental fact that different sub castes of Kayastha
are named on the basis their residential places. After the analysis of
different facts the following features are observed:

North Panchal. The capital of above Panch is Ahishera and the local residence
are called as "Ahigad" as the time progresses their senenations are
also name as Ahigad Kaystha. Because of the eldest among all sons Ahigad
Kayastha also called theselves "Kulshrestha".
Mathur: Born from Irawati another son name
Charan was settled in the coutryb of Saursen Kings and handled the ports of
different ministerial and administrative cadre. The ancesto of Shri Krishna,
King Yayati has ministers form the generation of Charan. The capital of Saursen
was Mathura that’s why they later called as Mathurs. They are normally resides

in Gandhar Kingdom. The generations of Matimaan establishes the city named
"Kayasthinvash" which was presently the capital of Afganistan named
Kabul. In Puran, the residents of Sakun Kingdom they comes into two phases, the
persons of first phase are called as Khare and that of second phase are Dusare.
Ambasta: In the ancient time there was a
kingdom named Ambast which was in between ChandraBahga (Present Chenab river)
and Airawart (Present Ravi river). The discussion of Ambast Kingdom was also
mentioned in Brahmna Puran. The residents of this Kingdom was called as
Ambasta. Padini was also called the residents of Southeast region of Kashmir as
Ambasta. The son of Shri Chitragupta named Himvaan had hold the post of
minister there and their generations are also settled there. There people are
very brave and fight along with Kauravs in Mahabharath. Because of the
residents of Ambast Kingdom they are called as Ambasta.
Valmik: In the central part of the plains of
Ganga and Yamuna there was a kingdom named Panchal having capital Kampil which
was situated in the south of Ganga. In ancient South Panchal there was Ashram

adjoining areas of this Ashram and was great followers of Saint Valmiki.
Because of this later on the residents of this kingdom was called as valmeek
Kayastha.
Nigam: Another son of Shri Chitragupta
named Antarvendreya was of very religious nature. He spends lots of his time in
the reading of Veds. He deployed his sons in the study of Veds or Nigam .This
results that their generations are further named as Nigams.
Suryadhvaj: The son of Shri Chitragupta and
Dakshina ,Vibahu get settled in the ancient Kashmir. On that time Kashmir
province was situated north west of Himalaya which was also mentioned in Shakti
Sagar Tantra. On that place the generation of Vibhanu was very powerful.
Majority of them played their role in finances and judiciary sector, because of
that local Brahmin feels jealous for them. Once they had also established their
own kingdom. Since mother of Vibhanu is the daughter of Surya so generations of
Vibhanu place sign of Sun on their flags. Because of this they are further called
as Suryadhvaj.
Asthana: The son Veerbhanu of Shri
Chitragupta ji was settled in Brahmavat Kingdom. In Hindu era the capital of
Brahmavart was Sthaneshwar. When Harshawardhan merges the Kingdom of his sister
in his Kingdom Kannauj had became his second capital. To handle the
administration and system the persons of sub caste were settled there .Since
they had the background of Sthaneshwer so they are called as Asthana .Before
Mughals they are linked with different administrative jobs for Sharki Sultans. Raja
Todarmal minister of Mughal emperor Akbar is also from Asthana family. In
Mughal period as the influence of Avadh increases, Asthanas shifts towards

Dakshina settled in the Kushal Kingdom of ancient India. Their generations hold
the posts at different administrative level in that Kingdom. Minister of King
Dashreth (Father of Lord Ram) Sumant belongs to the family of Bhanu Later on
Lord Ram divided his Kingdom in between Lav and Kush in the form of north and
south Kaushal. According to Valmeek the capital of north Kaushal is Shravasti.
So attached with Shravasti they are called as Srivastava. Some myth are also existed
that because being migrated from Srinagar they are also called as Srivastava.
Some have the prediction that they are also residing on the banks of Saraswati
River that is why they are called as Srivastava. According to famous writer Dr
Rangyay Raghav the suffix of Srivastava is "Vastava" shows that they
are very good architect (Vaastu Kala). That is why they had built Hastinapur,
Ahichha and Sravasti. After analyzing the above views it is concluded that
major density of this sub caste of Kayastha is in the Uttar Pradesh near Gonda
district was the ancient Sravasti and this important subcast of kayastha was
named on the basis of this.
