The origin of gotra Choradia has already been mentioned in the Aadityanag gotra but Yati Ramlalji has mentioned the story of the origin of gotra ‘Choradia’ in his book “Mahajan Vansh Muktavali” as under :-

In state Chanderi, King Kharhatsingh was the ruler. He had four sons named Ambdeo, Nimbdeo, Bhensha, and Aaspal. In V. 1192, Acharya Jindutt Suri of Kartargachh came to the city. At that time, a force of Lath people had attacked Kabali, and after Dacoity they went  off. When this this news reached the king, he went to fight and recover the wealth from the dacoits. He went with his army and all the four sons. The king got success and became victorious. He not only recovered the robbed wealth but also snatched there  previously robbed unlimited wealth also. But unfortunately his all the four sons were injured seriously. He came back, and returned the welth to their owners. Even then, a lot of welth remained with him.

The King consulted many doctors and Vaidyas but the condition of the sons  became graver every-day All the sons were lying un-conscious. He also consulted magic practitioners, but in vain.

A few noble persons advised him to consult the Acharya. They told that Jain Acharya Jindutt Suri is a marvelously astonishing monk and if the former went and requested him then the sons would be cured King went to the Acharya and requested the Acharya to do something so that his son might recover. Acharya replied that he was a Jain monk, so he could not anything, but if he and his all the four sons became Mahajans and follow became Mahajan and follow Jainism and the cult non-violence then only he could do something.

King replied that if his son recovered, then they would follow his orders and never turn away from the promise. Acharyas invoked the divine powers and ordered the deity to bring nectar. Deity pored nectar over the sons. At once, all the four sons became fit and they stood up. It was a great miracle. As a result many Rajputs became Oswal and their gotras, were named by the Acharya.

The eldest son was Ambdeo. He caught the thives and handcuffed them, so his gotra named Chorbedia or Chorbhidia, which is called Choradia. The second son was Nimbdeo. His sons were Chaudharies of Bhatnera, so they were called Bhatnera – Chaudhary.

The third son was Bhensa Shah had five wives and each wife had a son. They all were living at Mandavgarh. His eldest son was Kanwarji. He was a great astrologer One day declared that, that year the month Shravan would remain dry and Bhadrva, would became’Green’ but other fortunetellers did not agree to what he said. His forecast however came to be correct, so his name became famousas Shravansukha.

In Kanwarji’s family there was a famous man named Gukrajji. It was his hobby to distribute Gulgula to the children, so all use to call himGulgula, and this became his gotra. The descendants of Kanwarji went to Jaisalmer and started the business of Gugal, so they were named Gugaliya. The second son of Kanwarji was Gelaji and his son was Bachhaji, so their children began to be called Gel-Bachha. The name Gel-Bachha has now acquired the form Golechha or Gulechha.

The third son of Kunwarji was Buchha, so his children were recognized by the name Buchha. The fourth son of Kanwarji was Pasuji. He was an expert jeweler. King Chandrasen, of state Ahadnagar appointed Pasuji to purchase jewellery, for the royal family. One day, a Shrimal jeweler came to the court of the king and offered a diamond for sale. All other jewellers proved it to be a very precious stone, but pasuji declared that it had a defect. The possessor will lose his wife. The King called the Shrimal jeweler and and said,”Our jeweler Pasuji says that the possessor of this diamond will lose his wife, hence it is defective.” The Shrimal Jeweller immediately replied that he had lost his two wives so he was selling the dimond, after the deal he would merry the third wife. The King purchased the diamond and fitted the diamond on the forehead of Lord Rishabhdeo. The King awarded the title of Parakh to Pasuji with a reward of Rs. 1,00,000/- per annum. The children of PAsuji were called Parakh.

The fifth son of Kanwarji was Senhath alias Gadha-Shah. The children of Gadha-Shah came to be called Gadhaiya or Gadiya or Guddia or Gaddaiya.

The fourth son of king Kharhathsingh was Aaspal. His son was named Aasani.

The son of Oswal came to be called Ostwal. In this way were named these gotras.

Shri Sohanraj Bhansali wrote in his book “Oswal Vansh: Anusandhan ke Alok me” that the Acharya Shri Jindutt Suri awakened Kshatriyas in V. 1192 in village Choradiya, so they are called Choradia. Village Choradia is on Jodhpur-Jaisalmer road.

According to Muni Chandrashekhar, Bhensha Shah of Aadityanag Choradiya organized a Sangh of Shatrunjaya in V. 209. According to Muni Shri Ratnavijaiyji’s book “Shodh-Khoj” there is an inscription under a broken idol of Lord Chandraprabhu Swami ‘V.602 Aadityanag gotra Choradiya.’ One more inscription was found in a jain temple of village Aataru in Kota district, According to Munshi Deviprasad. Bhansroda had established a new village Bhensroda in Mewar. In this way there is a difference of 1512 years between the above story and that in Uppkeshgachh Pattavali.

Kuldevi of all these gotra is Shri Sachyaya Mata.

Choradai Bhenshashah / Bherush

Choradiya Bherusha is one out of 741/2 SHAHS of Mahajanas. It is not – known when and where Bhenshashah was born. Oswal historian believes that he was born in the 11th century. According to Jain pattavalies and the inscriptions, he was born before 5th century. It is a controversial question and requires.

It is said that, one day the mother of Bhenshashah desired to go for pilgrimage of all the Jain temple upto Shatrunjaya. Bhenshshah made all the arrangements (Chariot, palanquin, elephants, horses, army, servants, clerks and secretaries). At an auspicious moment Rani Sahiba’s procession started. Throughout the way she spent money for renovation of Jain temples, installation of new JainIdols, social dinners, distribution of gifts to the Jains, and giving of donations to the needy. In this way they reached Pattan, the capital of Gujrat at that time.

She went to the temples of Pattan for worship. There she desired to do renovate the temples.

When she ordered her secretary to start the work of renovation, he replied that there was not enough money left in the treasury. She ordered him to manage loan on hundi in favour of Bhensha Shah. He went to the city and tride to get loan from the business persons of this trade. They went to the camp of Rani Sahiba and asked as to on whose name they would issue Hundi. Rani sahiba asked them to issue hundi in favour of Bhensha. At this, they made a joke by saying that Bhensha (a Buffalow) brings water in their houses and was beaten every day by them. Rani Sahiba was distressed very much. She ordered to call Bhenshashah as early as possible.

Immediately two fast horse-men proceeded to call Bhenshashah.

When Bhenshashah heard the call of his mother, he immediately started with all arrangements, to pattan.

Bhenshashah engaged his clerks to purchase oil sufficient enough for a month’s time, and paid for it in advance in each village of Gujrat. All the clerks went and paid advance and got in writing how much oil they would get from each oilmen.

Bhenshashah himself went to all the Oil – sellers of Pattan and purchased as much as they could sell in a month’s time at their rate. He paid advance and got it in writing that if they failed to deliver they will repay four times the cost of Oil. Every Oil-seller was happy at the deal.

All the Oil-sellers sent their men to purchase the oil as much as possible, but they could not get even a drop of oil. After one-month period, Bhenshashah went to every oil-seller for taking delivery, but they all refused and requested that a Businessman of Rajasthan has already purchased the entire oil, so they are helpless. Bhanshahshah  made a complaint to the Nawab of Pattan. After hearing both the parties Nawab ordered that four-times the cost of the sold oil to Bhanshahshah, but they replied, that they did not have so much amount to repay even if they sold all their belongings. They all requested Bhenshashah to forgive them at any cost. Bhenshashah called all of them to send them to his mother, They all bowed down at the feet of Ranisahiba uttering, “We are your cow, now please forgive us.” Then Bhenshashah ordered them to keep open one Lang (pleat) of their dhoti forever. Until today the custom amongst the Gujrateets to wear Dhoti with only one Lang (pleat) is prevalent.

Bhenshashah performed this miracle and placed an example of grand devotion for Mother all the Choradiya must feel proud and privileged at the fact that their ancestor was such a great person. In addition to it he did many good deeds, so he was named in the list of 741/2 Shahs.
