  1. ↑ In many accounts of Rajput dynasties, they have been called Suryavanshi or Chandravanshi. The Sisodias and Chalukyas have called themselves Suryavanshi. In Rashtrakuta inscriptions, they have been described as Chandravanshi. Thus, since ancient times, Kshatriya clans were divided into two classes based on lineage-Suryavanshi and Chandravanshi. Later, Krishna's Yaduvanshi became the third branch. Dr. Dasharatha Sharma does not accept the story of Agnikunda. His view is that it was added later. Therefore, Rajputs are descendants of ancient Vedic Kshatriyas. It is stated in the Agni Purana that "the Chandravanshi are descendants of Krishna and Arjuna and the Suryavanshi are descendants of Rama and Lava-Kusha.”, Dr. A. K. Chaturvedi (2025-10-18).
