A Note on Lord Mahâvira's Clan
not seen in the older Jaina text where we find
"
“जे माहणे खत्तिय जायए वा तहुग्गपुत्ते तह लेच्छई वा ।
जे पव्वईए परदत्तभोई गोत्ते न जे थब्भइ माणब्दे || Suyagada 1, 13.10
Here we see that the mahana and Khattiya are separately mentioned differentiating them from Ugga and Leccha. Same tradition is followed by Ava. Ni. having a minor change, but not giving the place of reputation to the Vedic Puranic Vamsas.
