Clisobora

Clisobora

ग्रीक इतिहासकारों, भूगोलवेत्ताओं Arrian (AD 86/89 – 146/160) and Ptolmey (AD 90 – 168) ने क्लिसोबोरा (Clisobora / Klisobora) नाम का शहर यमुना के पर मथुरा के दूसरी ओर बताया गया है! अंग्रेज इतिहासकार भी मानते हैं की यमुना नदी की धारा की दिशा में बदलाव इन हज़ारों सालों मे हुआ है!

अगर कटरा केशव देव एवम् श्री वज्रनाभ के द्वारा बनवाए गये मंदिर के अवशेषों के आधार पर आज के कटरा केशव देव के स्थान को ५ हज़ार साल पहले का यमुना किनारे का स्थान मानें तो यमुना जी लगभग १.२६ किमी दूर हो गयी हैं! जो भूगोल/
भू विज्ञान के द्वारा स्वाभाविक है!


तो क्या आज का मथुरा (पुराना शहर - चौक बाजार, भरतपुर दरवाजा, डीग दरवाजा, आदि इलाक़ा) यमुना के पार या यमुना की धारा में था? यमुना जी के धारा प्रवाह के कारण (५ हज़ार साल में) यह इलाक़ा मथुरा शहर के रूप में विकसित होता रहा?
क्या आज का भैंस-बहोरा , क्लसिबोरा का अपभ्रंश है?

From left side of Yamuna Minarets of Jama Masjid at Chowk bazar and campanile of English church were seen. Northern side Kans Killa was prominent object.  “The city stretched for about a mile and a half along the right bank of the Yamuna and from the opposite side has a very striking and picturesque appearance, which was owing not a little to the broken character of the ground on which it is built. Were it not for this peculiarity of site, the almost total absence of towers and sires would be felt as a great drawback, for all the large modern temples had no Shikharas, as are usually seen similar edifices, but were simple cloistered quadrangles of uniform height. The only exceptions were the lofty minarets of the Jama Masjid on the one side, and the campanile of the Engli...
