The gotra of these Pathania Rajputs is Atri which raises a doubt as to whether they are really Tomaras. They also call themselves Pandirs or descendants of the Pāndavas, but the gotra of the Pāndavas as also of the Tomaras who are their modern representatives is Vaiyāghrapadya. Perhaps the Pathanias changed their gotra when they came to Dhaner and adopted a new Purohita, according to the wrong dictum of Vijnāneśvara or they are really lunar race Kshatriyas but not Tomaras.
