The Bhojas are one of the famous clans born in the line of the great Haihayas. They are not the Bhojas of the Yādava line, the descendants of Babhru Devāvṛdha.

The Sūta tells the munis that Kārtavīrya had a hundred sons, of whom five remained, strong, heroic, righteous and renowned: Śūrasena, Śūra, Vṛshaṇa, Madhupadhvaja and Jayadhvaja. Jayadhvaja ruled the Avantī country; his son was Tālajaṅgha, whose hundred sons were known as the Tālajaṅghas. In the line of the great Haihayas, the famous clans are the Vītihotras, the Suvratas, the Bhojas, the Avantis, the Tauṇḍikeras, the Tālajaṅghas, the Bharatas, the Sujātas and many others, too many to name.
