The agnikul clans of Rajput are mentioned by Chand Bardai, the court poet of Prithviraj Chauhan, in his book Prithviraj Raso. According to him, when Parshurama had destroyed the Kshatriyas and there was no one left to protect the Brahmins, they assembled and performed a yajna on Mount Abu. They kindled the sacred fire and prayed to God to produce a brave class to protect them. In response to their prayers, four great heroes sprang from this sacred fire. These founded the four great Rajput families — Parmaras, Pratiharas, Chalukyas and Chauhans. Burdak gotra Jats were included in Chauhans. Chauhans of the Agnikula Race emerged in the 12th century and were renowned for their valour. Their territories included the Sapadalksha kingdom, which encompassed a vast area including present- day Jaipur, Ranthambhore, part of Mewar, the western portion of Bundi district, Ajmer Kishangarh and even, at one time, Delhi.
