===Background===
King Sukhdevavarman, son of Chandel King Kapotdevavarman, was born in 195 AD. Sukhdevavarman's nickname was Chandra and Nrdeva. One day, when Sukhdevvarman had gone hunting riding a horse, he was shot by arrows from the spies of the enemy kingdom. Now when Hemavati, a Bhargava Brahmin's daughter, saw him injured, she took him to her ashram and treated them. Both of them remained there for several months until Sukhdevavarman completely recovered and they fell in love with each other. Then Sukhdevavarman introduces himself to them and says that I am coming in a few days to get married. But when they go to the capital, Suddenly war starts and they have to immediately move to another country for war. Sukhdevavarman remained busy in wars for 1 year, then when he returned to Chanderi from the war, he immediately went towards Hemavati and married his beloved Hemavati who was waiting for him. Hemavati became pregnant after 3-4 years of marriage. After some time, Nagraj Ishwardutt attacked Chanderi. Sukhdevavarman was died due to an heavy injury state on the banks of the Ken River on September 27, 167 AD (224  Vikram Samvat).

Life

Reign

Chandravarman, son of Sukhdevavarman, was born on Magh Sudi Ekadashi, Vikrama Samvat 225 (168 AD), between the third and fourth hours of the night. Chandravarman I has been called 'Pramati' in ancient history due to his being a very intelligent person. Description of Nripashrestha Pramati is available in Matsyapuran and Brahmandapuran - In the evening period of Swayambhuva Manvantar, there used to be a king named Chandragotriya Pramati in Bhrigu dynasty to rule those unrighteous people. Here, the phrase 'भृगुणां च कुले स्थितः' indicates the clan of Chandravarman's Bhargava Brahmin descendant mother Hemvati (some argue that he was bhargava, but if he was bhargava then his gotra should be Vatsa not Chandra, while short meaning of Chandrayan is Chandra) and the phrase 'गोत्रेण वै चन्द्रमसो' indicates the 'Chandrayan' gotra of Sukhdevavarman (Nrdeva) of Chandel dynasty of Chandravansh (Chandra dynasty).[4][5] This is a popular and scientifically based fact. Chandrakulotpanna Nripashrestha Pramati has also been said to be an incarnation of Vishnu and the son of the Chandra. From this it becomes clear that the supreme God and the supremely intelligent Chandravarman is the real Pramati. The word 'Deva' in the word 'Nridevasyeh' indicates the name Devant of the lineage of Chandravarman's ancestors.

About three centuries after the reign of Emperor Vikramaditya, the originator of Vikram Samvat, Shrimatparambhattark Maharajadhiraj Chandravarman became a Kshetra emperor of India. To commemorate the victory of Bengal, he established 'Vishnu Dhwaj' on a mountain named 'Vishnupad' near the Vyas river in today's Punjab province. Later, his successors established an iron pillar, which was later converted by the ruler of Delhi, Anangpal Tomar, and installed at a place called Mehrauli, The inscription engraved on it is an indication of the intact glory of Shrimat Parambhattarak Maharajadhiraja Chandravarman -

यस्योद्वर्त्तयतः प्रतीप मुरसा शत्रुन्समे त्यागतान् बङ्गेष्वाहववर्तिनोभिलिखिता खड्गेन कीर्तिर्भुजे। तीर्खासप्तमुखानि एन समरे सिन्धोर्जिता वाह्निका यस्याद्यापिधिवास्यते जलनिधिः वीर्य्यानिलैः दक्षिणः ।। 22

Emperor Pramati Chandravarman had kept one thousand seven hundred and sixty kings under his control as per the formula 'Nabh = 0, Ritu = 6, Rishi = 7, Brahma = 1' i.e. 'Ankanam Vamto Gatih' and had also started 'Chandel Samvat'.

One of Chandel genological text Chandelvilas mentions -

चन्द्रवर्मन इति प्रमतिचन्देलस्य पूर्णनाम अस्ति तथा च चन्द्रायणस्य (चन्द्रस्य) गोत्रस्य चन्द्रस्य वा नर्देवस्य वा सुखदेववर्मनस्य वा भृगुकुटुम्बस्य तस्य पत्नी हेमावतीयाः च पुत्रः आसीत्। सः सर्वान् म्लेच्छः शूद्रराजान् हत्वा धर्मं पुनः स्थापयित्वा चक्रवर्ती सम्राट् अभवत् ।।

Chandravarman is the full name of Pramati Chandel and he was the son of Chandra or Nardeva or Sukhadevavarman of the gotra of Chandrayana (Chandra) and his wife Hemavati of the Bhrigu family. He re-established Dharma by killing all the Mllechha and Shudra kings and became the Chakravarti emperor. He also built 85 golden temples in Khajuraho and erected the fort of Kalinjara.[6][7] [8]
