Shakadvipi : ウィキペディア英語版
Sakaldwipiya

Brahmins (or Bhojaka Brahmins or Maga Brahmins)((サンスクリット:शाकद्विप)), is a class of Hindu Brahmin priests and Ayurveda teachers (''acharyas'') and practitioners, with significant concentrations of their populations occurring in Western and Northern India.
Spelling variants of "" (IAST transcription) include ''Shakdvipi'', ''Shakdwipi'', ''Shakdweepi'', ''Shakdvipiya'', ''Shakdwipiya'', ''Shakdweepiya'', ''Shakadwipi'', ', and ''Sakadwipi''.
The s are also known as Maga Brahmins (or sometimes Mragha) see origin myth below). Historically, Maga Brahmins are Sūryadvija Brahmins, who nevertheless today consider themselves to be distinct from the other brahmins.
==Origin myth==

The Brahmin community of India identify themselves as having Iranian roots, and assert that they inherit their by-name ''mragha'' from a group of priests (''cf.'' ''mobed'') who established themselves in India as the Mragha-Dias or Maga-Brahmins.
The doctrinal basis for that assertion is Bhaviṣya Purāṇa 133, which may be summarized as follows:
:Krishna's son Samba was afflicted with leprosy, which was cured after he worshiped , Hinduism's god of the Sun. In response, he built a temple to on the banks of the Chandrabhaga river, but no Brahmin could be found willing to take up the role of a temple priest, as they could not accept offerings made to gods. So Samba sought help of Gauramukha("white face"), the adviser of the Yadu chief, Ugrasena.:Gauramukha responded with a suggestion that Samba go to Shakdvipa (see note on Mahabharata 6:11, below)〔The reference to the inhabitants of Śakadvīpa is, however, older than the Purāṇas, appearing first in Rigveda and subsequently in almost all veda & Mahabharata 6:11, where Sakadwipa is said to lie to the north-west (of ancient India). The region is mentioned again in 12:14 as a region to the east of the great Mount Meru. Consequently, the word '' (and variations) is presumed to reflect ''Śaka''-, the people of a region beyond the Hindukush mountains.〕〔.〕 and invite their priests to worship . Further, asked Samba, "tell me, oh Brahmin, what are the antecedents of these worshipers of the Sun?" To which Gauramukha replied... "The first of the Brahmins amidst the Śakas was called ''Sujihva'' ("good tongue") () He had a daughter of the name Nikshubha, who so enamored that she was impregnated by him. Thus she gave birth to Jarashabda who was the founding father of all the ''Maga-Ācārya''. They are distinguished by the sacred girdle called the ''Avyanga'' that they wear around their waist." And so Samba called on Krishna to send him Garuda, on whose back he then flew to Shakadwipa. He collected the ''Maga-Ācārya'' ("Maga teacher"), brought them back to India and installed them as priests of his temple.
:Of the pious representatives of 18 families Samba invited to resettle in the city of Sambapura, eight were Mandagas, and their descendants became Shudras. The other 10 were Maga Brahmins, who married Bhoja vamsa women and so their descendants came to be known as Bhojakas.
As such, the are one of only two Brahmin groups who are said to have originated outside India, even if about half their clan names (''gotra''s) are the same as those of other Brahmins.
