Turning to Rājput clans which are lunar, we find that their gotra is usually Atri and Atri is no doubt their progenitor being the father of the moon according to the Purāṇas. This fact is distinctly stated in the inscriptions of the Kalachūri Haihayas and of the Senas. The Yādavas, the Chuḍasamas and the Jādejas also give Atri as their gotra and this is true by the theory of descent and not discipleship.
