Virahotras The Vāyu and Matsya Purāṇas read Vītihotras,⁵ which seems to be the correct reading. They were descended from king Vītihotra and were a branch of the Haihaya race.⁶ A variant of their name is given in the Droṇaparvan of the Mahābhārata.⁷ The name Vīrahotra or Varahotra is met with in the Sāñci Inscriptions of the second century B.C.
