Vītihotras (Haihaya Clan)

Vītihotra

The Vītihotras are one of the famous clans in the line of the great Haihayas. The Brahma Purāṇa names them at the close of its account of Kārtavīrya and his sons.

In the Haihaya line

In the Brahma Purāṇa’s account of the line of Yadu, Kārtavīrya had a hundred sons, of whom five remained: Śūrasena, Śūra, Vṛshaṇa, Madhupadhvaja and Jayadhvaja. Jayadhvaja ruled the Avantī country, and his son Tālajaṅgha had a hundred sons, 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.
