This was the place where the Nepali language and culture originated. The earliest examples of Devanagari script from the 13th Century were found here. These archaeological sites are located in Jumla, Surkhet and Dailekh districts.After late 13th century the Khas empire collapsed and divided into Baise Rajya (22 principalities) in Karnali-Bheri region and 12 principalities in Gandak region (Among Chaubise rajyas- 24 principalities 12 were Khas and 12 were Magar Rajyas).

There is no exact date when this empire came into existence but is mentioned in Puranas several times. As per the Hindu Text in ancient Nepal there were different kingdoms. Parvata Kingdom, Nepa Kingdom , Videha Kingdom, Virata Kingdom, and Khasa Kingdom Khasa Kingdom was (arguably) in western part of present day Nepal. The Khasas along with the Tusharas, the Yavanas, the Darvabhisaras, the Daradas, the Sakas, the Kamathas, the Ramathas, the Tanganas the Andhrakas, the Pulindas, the Kiratas were mentioned as fierce prowess, the Mlecchas, the Mountaineers tribes who fought for Duryodhana. (8,51,18-19) उग्राश्च क्रूरकर्माणस्तुखारा यवनाः खशाः | दार्वाभिसारा दरदाः शका रमठतङ्गणाः || (8,51,18) अन्ध्रकाश्च पुलिन्दाश्च किराताश्चोग्रविक्रमाः | म्लेच्छाश्च पार्वतीयाश्च सागरानूपवासिनः || (8,51,19) The Khas people were fierce warrior. According to Gopal bamsabali ancient Khasa Kingdom defeated Kathmandu (aka Nepal at that time) 13 times. Initially the Khas Kings were Buddhist. Later they adopted Hinduism. Recorded evidence of 12-14th century shows that Khas Empire came into power at end of 10th century. This 'Khas Empire' is a different state than 'Khasa Kingdom' as maintained in Mahabharat. The time frame of 'the Empire' is 11th-14th century AD whereas 'the kingdom' was involved in Kurukshetra war whose estimated dating is 6000 BCE to 500 BCE according to different claims. But the root of both states are same. The kingdom was disbanded earlier due to some reasons and united back again in end of 10th century. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Khas Empire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
