कठ गणराज्य

kath ganarajy prachin panjab ka prasiddh ganarajy tha. kath log vaidik aryoan ke vanshaj the. kaha jata hai ki kathopanishad ke rachayita tatvadarshi vidvanh isi jati ke ratn the.

alaksheandr ke bharat par akraman ke samay kath ganarajy ravi aur vyas nadiyoan ke bich ke pradesh ya majha mean basa hua tha. kath logoan ke sharirik saudanry aur alaukik shaury ki grik itihas lekhakoan ne bhoori-bhoori prashansa ki hai. alaksheandr ke sainikoan ke sath ye bahut hi viratapoorvak l de the aur sahastroan shatru yoddhaoan ko inhoanne dharashayi kar diya tha jisake parinam svaroop grik sainikoan ne ghabara kar alaksheandr ke bahut kahane-sunane par bhi vyas nadi ke par poorv ki or badhane se saf inakar kar diya tha.

grik lekhakoan ke anusar kathoan ke yahaan yah jati pratha prachalit thi ki ve keval svasth evan balishth santan ko hi jivit rahane dete the. one sikritos likhata hai ki ve suandaratam evan balishthatam vyakti ko hi apana shasak chunate the.

panini ne bhi kathoan ka kanth ya kanth nam se ullekh kiya hai. mahabharat mean jis krath naresh ko kauravoan ki or se yuddh mean l data hua bataya gaya hai vah shayad kath jati ka hi raja tha-

'rathidvipasthen hatoapatachchharai: kratadhip: parvatajen durjay:.'
