Bibhanu Upakarnak was born in the family of Chitragupta. His son, Suryadhwaj, was Nripoti (King) of Ghosh dynasty. By the grace of Sun God, he was living in Suryakhya Nagar. His sons gradually started spreading to various places. Somebody established at Chandrahasgiri (some place in Deccan) and was named as Chandrahasgiriswar ( King of Chandrahasgiri). Some went to Ayoddhya and Maddhya Pradesh. In the family of Chandrahasgiriswar, Suryapad was born. Sri Som Ghosh was the son of Suryapad.
It is gathered from old writings that due to natural calamity, Som Ghosh moved on to Kannya-kubja in around 882 AD where Bhojdeb was the King. He was also known as ‘Aadisur’ or ‘Aadityasur’. Aadisur decided to perform ‘Yagna’ and on this occasion decided to offer good places to some five (5) travelers. At that time, besides Som Ghosh, 4 other high level Kayastha-s namely Anadibar Singha, Purusottam Das, Sudarsan Mitra and Deb Dutta also came to Aadisur. Of these 5 Kayasthas, Som and Anadibar arrived from Ayodhya, Purusottam from Mathura, Sudarsan and Deb from Mayapuri.
Capital of Aadisur was at Singheswar which is known to be situated in a village named ‘Singa’, a little away from Nasipur in Mursidabad Dist of West Bengal.
Som Ghosh was offered a place named ‘Joyjan’ for his residence along with Jamindari for 127 villages and enough of money to establish himself. Similarly, Anadibar Singha was also offered place on the western flank of Hoogly and Jamindari of 400 villages to establish himself. The other 3 Kayastha-s were not known to be honored as Som and Anadibar (they being descendents of famous Kings of Deccan). They were made courtesan and gradually established themselves.
