Gujarat Rajput Society January 8, 2013 at 8:51pm · Dabhi Rajput ------------------------------------------------------------------ The Dabhi claim descent from an ascetic named Dabshilim, who had a claim to the throne. At his request Mahmud of Ghazni carried him to Ghazni for safe custody another Dabshilim, a relative whose pretensions the newly made king dreaded, and detained him until king Dabshilim was securely seated on his throne, when he sent him back to Gujarat at the kings request. When the prisoner approached Anhilvara the king, according to custom, went forth to meet him, and, arriving at the appointed spot before him, passed the time in hunting. At length, overpowered by the heat and by fatigue, he lay down under a tree to rest, covering his face with a red handkerchief. A bird of prey, taking the handkerchief for a piece of flesh, swooped down upon it and, driving his talons into the kings eyes, destroyed his sight. One so injured was disqualified from reigning, and the prisoner Dabshilim, arriving at that moment, was acclaimed by the popular voice as king, while the blinded man was confined in the dungeon under the throne-room which he had destined for his relative.[2] Dabshilim is well known in Muslim literature as the king to whom the Brahman, Pilpay, related the fables of the jackals Kalila and Dimna, which have been translated into Arabic and Turkish, and twice into Persian, but the name is unknown in Indian history and it is difficult to connect it with any Indian king. It has been suggested that Mahmud, after the flight of Bhim I, appointed his uncle, Durlabha, to the government, and that the two Dabshilims represent Durlabha and his son, but Lt.-Colonel Tods explanation appears to be more probable. He says that the Dabhis were a well known tribe, said by some to be a branch of the Chawaras, who had preceded the Solankis on the throne of Gujarat, and suggests that the name is a compound of Dabi Chawara. Dabhi Rajputs are original Solanki Rajputs. Solanki rajput is Agnivanshi rajput. Hence Dabhi are also Agnivanshi rajput. because as per history four rajput have been came out from Agani kund of Anilkhand (Abu At presetn Achalgadh) namely Solanki, Chauhan, Pratihar, Paramr. Gotra of the Dabhi/Solanki rajput is Bhardvaj. Gotradevei is Bhrumani mataji (it appears that it would be Bramani). The Kuldevata is Shiv. First Kuldevei was Ganga Mataji thenafter Bahucharmataji and theafter Khodiyar Mataji. Solanki Rajput is from Tunk Toda Rajshthan. Shri Darbhsen had established Dabhadgadh state in Katchchh in Vikram Savant 979, Hence they have been called as Dabhi. Shri Devisinh Dabhi was ruler of Dabhadgadh her daughter Swarupba had married with Zuzarsinh ruler of Marvad and in the dowary/Kariyavar all village of state Dabhadgadh have been given to Zuzajarsinh.
