"In Rajasthan and central India, there arose a number of small kingdoms ruled by dynasties that came to be called the Rajputs (from Sanskrit raja-putra: son of a king). The name was assumed by royal families that claimed Kshatriya status and linked their lineage either with the Suryavamsi or the Candravamsi, the royal lineages of the itihasa-purana tradition, or else with the Agnikula (Fire lineage) based on a lesser myth in which the eponymous ancestor arises out of the sacrificial fire. The four major Rajput dynasties Pratihara, Paramara, Cauhan, and Caulukya claimed Agnikula lineage. The references in Rajput genealogies to supernatural ancestry suggest either an obscure origin perhaps from semi-Hinduized local tribes who gradually acquired political and economic status or else a non-Indian (probably Central Asian) origin."
