chitragupta_800.jpg The Kayasthas trace their genealogy from "Adi Purush" Shri Chitraguptaji Maharaj. It is said that after Lord Brahma had created the four Varnas (Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and Shudras), Yama requested Lord Brahma to help him record the deeds, good and evil, of men, and administer justice.Lord Brahma went into meditation for 11, 000 years and when he opened his eyes he saw a man holding pen and ink-pot in his hands and a sword girdled to his waist. Lord Brahma spoke: "You have been created from my body (Kaya), therefore shall your progeny be known as the Kayastha. You have been conceived in my mind (Chitra) and in secrecy (gupta), your name shall also be Chitragupta.", Brahma then enjoined him to dispense justice and punish those who violated the dharma (duties). Thus, the Kayasthas were accorded a dual caste, Brahmin (learned)/Kshatriya (warrior).In the legends of Shree Chitraguptaji Maharaj, he is referred to as Kshatriya of great prowess and a king, while the rest are rajakas or little kings.

चित्र इद राजा राजका इदन्यके यके सरस्वतीमनु ।

पर्जन्य इव ततनद धि वर्ष्ट्या सहस्रमयुता ददत ॥

In the Garud Puran, Chitragupta is hailed as the first man to give the script.



"Chitragupta namastubhyam vedaksaradatre"

(Obeisance to Chitragupta, the giver of letters)


The Rig Veda mentions an invocation to be made to Chitragupta before offering sacrifice. There is also a special invocation to Chitragupta as Dharmraj (Lord of Justice) to be made at the performance of shradh ot other rituals.

"Om tat purushaya vidmahe Chitragupta dhimahi tena lekha prachodayata."
