Khares are descendants of Shree Shribhanu (Srivastava), who was a son of Mata Nandini (Dakshina). Shree Shribhanu's rashi name was Dharamdwaj. Maharaj Chitragupta sent Shree Shribhanu to establish a Kingdom in the Shrivaas (Srinagar) region between Kashmir and Kandhar. He was married to Nāgaraj Vasuki’s daughter Devi Padmini and two divine sons named Shree Devdatta and Shree Ghanshyam were born. Shree Devdatta got the rulership over Kashmir and Shree Ganshyam got the rulership over the banks of Sindhu river. They were called Srivastava ‘Khare’ born from second wife Kheri.
Shree Chitraguptjee is divine incarnation in human form called Kayastha since he is the only creation of Lord Bramha, created in entirety KAYA from the lords body, unlike the other 16 sons who were created only from various parts of the body. Shree Chitraguptjee (& hence the Kayastha's) were accorded a caste status, namely KSHATRITYA Warrior. The primary duty awarded to Shree Chitraguptjee was to create LOG of the lives of all living beings, judge their lives based on good-deeds and misdoing, and decide, upon ones death, whether they will attain NIRVANA Completion of their LIFE CYCLE & redemption from all worldly troubles or, receive punishment for their misdoing in another life form, till they attain NIRVANA.
