Sujātas (Haihaya clan)

Sujāta · su-jāta, “the well-born”

The Sujātas are a clan in the line of the great Haihayas, the line of Kārtavīryārjuna.

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