मनु व शतरूपा :: वे दोनों सृष्टि के प्रथम मानव थे। इन्हीं से मानव जाति का आरंभ हुआ। मनु का जन्म भगवान ब्रह्मा जी के मन से हुआ था। मनु का उल्लेख ऋग्वेद और वैदिक संहिताओं में मानव सृष्टि के आदि प्रवर्तक और समस्त मानव जाति के आदि पुरुष के रूप में हुआ है। मनु का विवाह ब्रह्मा जी के दाहिने भाग से उत्पन्न शतरूपा से हुआ था। मनु एक धर्म शास्त्रकार भी थे। धर्मग्रंथों के बाद धर्माचरण की शिक्षा देने के लिये आदि पुरुष स्वायंभुव मनु ने स्मृति की रचना की जो मनु स्मृति के नाम से विख्यात है। उत्तान पाद जिनके घर में ध्रुव पैदा हुए, इन्हीं के पुत्र थे। मनु स्वायंभुव के ज्येष्ठ पुत्र प्रियव्रत को पृथ्वी का प्रथम क्षत्रिय माना जाता है। इनके द्वारा प्रणीत स्वायंभुव शास्त्र के अनुसार पिता की संपत्ति में पुत्र और पुत्री का समान अधिकार है। इनको धर्मशास्त्र का और प्राचेतस मनु अर्थशास्त्र का आचार्य माना जाता है। मनुस्मृति ने सनातन धर्म को आचार संहिता से जोड़ा था।
The humans currently live in the Kalp (aeon) of the white boar (Shwet Varah Kalp), a part of the Kali Yug. The 14 Manus of the current aeon are :- Swayambhu, Swarochis, Uttam, Tamas, Raewat, Caksus, Vaevaswat (the current Manu), Savarni, Daksh Savarni, Brahm Sarvani, Dharm Sarvani, Rudr Sarvani, Dev Sarvani & Indr Sarvani.
Bhagwan Brahma-the creator, after detaching himself from the property of anger, in the form of Rudr, divided his body into two forms called Swayambhu Manu, the male segment (Born of his Own) who was born with the Kaya-body of his father Brahma (Ka-Brahma, Ya-form) and Shat Rupa-the female counter part, for the purpose of evolution of species, who could produce by virtue of sexual intercourse-mating. Shat Rupa means the hundred beautiful form. She was the first woman created by Bhagwan Brahma. Shat Rupa had some other forms as well, including Saraswati, Sandhya or Brahmani.Brahma Ji followed her wherever she went. To avoid Brahma Ji following her, Shat Rupa moved in various directions. In whichever direction she went, Brahma Ji developed another head until he had four, one for each direction of the compass. Shat Rupa tried every way to stay out of Brahma's gaze. However, a fifth head appeared and this is how Brahma Ji developed five heads. At this moment Bhagwan Shiv came and cut off the top head of Brahma Ji as it is misdeed and incestuous of Brahma Ji to become obsessed with her, as Shat Rupa was her daughter. Bhagwan Shiv gave the mandate not to worship Brahma Ji for his offence. Bhagwan Shiv got the title Kapalik from that day.Since, then Brahma Ji has been reciting the four Veds, one from every mouth in remorse.
Bhagwan Brahma created 10 Prajapatis, one of whom was Marichi. Kashyap was the son of Marichi and Kala. All life forms originated from Mahrishi Kashyap. His sons from Aditi-the sky demigods and the daughter of Daksh Prajapati are called Adity (Sons of Aditi), they were, Ansh, Aryman, Bhag, Dhuti, Mitr, Pusan, Sakr, Savitṛ, Tvatsstr, Varun, Vishnu and Vaevaswat or Vivaswan; total twelve in number.
Vivaswan or Vaevaswat, one of the sons of Bhagwan Sury Narayan, progenitor of the clan. His parents were the sage Kashyap, father of all beings and Aditi, Aditi’s 12 sons, the Aditys, are the Sun deities and both Vivaswan and Adity mean Sun. Therefore, another name for Vivaswan is Sury or the Sun. Vaevaswat means master of the rays, another name for the Bhagwan Sun Narayan. His sons include Shraddh Dev and Shan Dev.
The beginning of Ikshwaku Dynasty :- It begun with Vivaswan Manu & his wife-Shraddha.
The genealogy of the Ikshvaku dynasty till Bhagwan Shri Ram is mentioned in the Ramayan in two lists. The only difference between the two lists is that, Kukshi is mentioned only in the second list. In the first list, Vikukshi is mentioned as the son of Ikshvaku. The descendants of Vikukshi are known as Vikauwa.
(1). VAEVASWAT MANU :: Vaevaswat Manu was the 7th Manu of the present Kalp. Also known as the Sraddh Dev Manu. Being the son of Vaevaswat (Bhagwan Sury-Sun), he is also known as Vaevaswat Manu. He is the first human ruler and the most honest one. Hence, he is called Saty Vrat as well. Since, all Men are from Manu, they are called Manav. He was the founder of the Sun dynasty. He established his capital at Ayodhya. He had nine sons :- Ven, Dhrashnu, Narishyan, Nabhag, Ikshvaku, Karush, Sharyati, Prashadhru, Nabhag Risht. He had a daughter called Ila, who was married to Buddh the son of Chandr Dev from Tara, wife of Dev Guru Vrahspati-progenitor of Lunar-Chandr dynasty. He left the kingdom to the eldest male of the next generation, Ikshvaku, who was actually the son of Manu’s brother Shraddh Dev. This was the first Dynasty of Bharat Varsh. The Kingdom ruled by Manu in the current world parlance stretched from Madagascar & East Africa covering most of South Asia and Australia. The works by King Manu are Manav Grah Sutr, Manav Sulabh Sutr, and Manav Dharm Shastr. The Manu Smrati is the first book of Law-human conduct.
MANU & MATSAY AVTAR :: Once while King Manu was performing rituals on the banks of the river, a small fish came up to him and asked him to save it from a bigger fish. The King kept the fish in a pitcher-jar and took care of it. The fish just kept growing bigger and bigger. King Manu realised that it was not an ordinary fish. The fish spoke to him and informed him about a huge flood-deluge that would cover the entire Earth. The King built a huge boat which housed the Sapt Rishis & family, various types of seeds & animals to reproduce on the earth.
(2). IKSHVAKU :: The name Ikshvaku means Sugar Cane. He was the son of Manu and the grandson of Vivaswan i.e., Bhagwan Sury-Sun. He is remembered as a righteous and glorious king. This dynasty is also known as Sury Vansh (the Solar dynasty). He was the first prominent monarch of this dynasty, giving the dynasty its another name the Ikshvaku dynasty. Bhagwan Ram an incarnation of Bhagwan Vishnu was born in this dynasty, later known as Raghu Vansh as well. Twenty two out of the twenty four Jain Tirthankars belonged to this dynasty. He had hundred sons and his eldest, Vikukshi-Shashad became the King of Ayodhya. Shashad appointed Vashishth as his preceptor. He ruled Koushal-Avadh with Ayodhya as its capital, in the state of present Uttar Pradesh, along the banks of river Saryu with Saket. Ikshvaku was the first king who executed the Manu Smrati or religious rules of Hindu living which were composed by his father Manu. Ikshvaku, ruled as Monarch at the beginning of the Treta Yug. He had hundred sons. His estates descended to his eldest son Vikukshi.
Ikshvaku and Bhagwan Rang Nath Ji :- Bhagwan Brahma worshipped the Almighty in the form of Shri Rang Nath Ji. A statue-idol of Bhagwan Rang Nath Ji (replica) was given to King Ikshvaku to worship and he brought this to his capital, Ayodhya. Eventually Bhagwan Ram worshipped Shri Rang Nath Ji. When Vibhishan, the brother of Ravan, came to Ayodhya, he requested permission to take Shri Rang Nath Ji (replica)to his capital in Lanka to worship. He was allowed to do so, on the condition that if he placed the deity on the ground, he would not be able to move the deity from that spot. Vibhishan agreed and proceeded to carry the deity to Shri Lanka. On his way he had to place the deity on the ground at Shri Rangam, on the bank of the Chandr Pushkarni tank.
NIMI :: He was the twelfth son of Ikshvaku. He founded the city of Vaejayant and performed a great sacrifice lasting for five thousand years. Vashishth told him to wait as he himself was busy with Indr's sacrifice. So, Nimi appointed Gautam as his priest and completed the sacrifice. Vashishth was enraged and cursed Nimi to lose his body. Nimi also cursed Vashishth to lose his body. Vashishth acquired a new body from Varun. Nimi was content in his astral form and wished to see the world through the eyes of his subjects. Since, then humans can blink their eyes and the period of time taken to blink an eye is called Nimesh. Nimesh became a primary unit of time.
MITHI :: Son of Nimi. He was born when the sages churned Nimi's lifeless body. Since he was born when Nimi was out of his body (Vi-Without, Deh-Body), Mithi was also called Videh and named the entire country Videh. Mithi renamed the city of Vaejayant into Mithila. Hence Mithi became the direct ancestor of Sita.
(3). KUKSHI :: Among the hundred sons of king Ikshvaku, Kukshi was the eldest one. Because he had very broad chest of a warrior, he was called as Kukshi.
(4). VIKUKSHI :: He was the son of Kukshi. Once when King Kukshi was performing a sacrifice, Vikukshi was sent to bring the sacrificial meat. While hunting, Vikukshi was hungry and ended up eating a part of the meat of a rabbit-hare at the time of Shraddh and was known as Shashad. This was an act of sacrilege. On the advice of Guru Vashishth he was banished from the Kingdom. Vikukshi was the son of Ikshvaku. [Bhagwat Puran] which appears to be ambiguity, but the sequence of events repeated several times in different Manvanters-cosmic eras and so the confusion occurs. His son was Kakusth or Puranjay.
Vikukshi-Shashad was contemporary to King Pururava (पुरुरवा) who was founder of Chandr Vansh).
(5). KAKUSTH-PURANJAY :: The son of Vikukshi i.e., Shashad and grandson of Ikshvaku. His real name was Puranjay. Infused with Vishnu's divine prowess, Puranjay defeated all the Demons & Daetys (दैत्य, giants) and Asurs (असुर, wretched, sinful), while riding on the shoulders of Indr, who was in the form of a white humped bull. Since, he annihilated Asurs (demons or Asurs i.e., Persians) while sitting on the hump (Kukud) of a bull, he was known as Kakusth, which means seated on the hump. Since, then his descendants, including Bhagwan Shri Ram and Lakshman are called Kakusths, as well. He was a brave king and fought in the Devasur Sangram. He defeated the demons. He gave all the riches, kingdoms that he obtained to Indr. He is also called as Indrvah since, Indr was his Vahan-carrier. Kakusth. He was also known as Puran Jay or Indr Homi or Indr Vahu which were more or less his titles. He ruled for 10,900 years.
(6). VAN :: He was contemporary to 2nd Chandr Vanshi King Ayu.
(7). ANARANY :: He was a noble and ascended the throne after King Van. Ravan after obtaining the boon from Bhagwan Brahma that he could not be killed by any God, demon, Nag or Yaksh, advanced the heavenly cities. The Devs-demigods knowing about the boon did not fight with him. Ravan was disappointed. He came down to Earth and saw the capital of Ayodhya ruled by Maha Raj Anarany. Anarany refused to run away or give the kingdom to Ravan. A fierce fight ensures. Anarany was wounded and cursed Ravan that one of his decedents would kill him. This curse was the precursor for Bhagwan Ram to be born in the Sun-Ikshvaku dynasty. Anarany was called Anen and or Suyodhan-Sudyumn as well. He was contemporary to 3rd Chandr Vanshi King Nahush 4th Chandr Vanshi King Yayati and demon king Vrash Parv.
SUDYUMN :: Manu was the son of Bhagwan Sury and Sandhya. Manu was married to Shraddha. They organised a Putr Kameshti Yagy under Rishi Vashishth. The queen prayed to get a girl child. Consequently, a girl was born to them. She was named Ila. But the King requested Vashishth to transform her into a boy. Then he was named him Sudyumn. One day Sudyumn had gone on a hunting excursion. Riding the horse with his ministers, Sudyumn reached a forest at the foothills of Meru Mountain. The forest was the nuptial abode of Bhagwan Shiv and Mata Parvati. As soon as Sudyumn and his companions entered the forests, they all, even horses, got converted into females. This happened because of an earlier event.
Once, Mata Parvati was sitting naked in the lap of Bhagwan Shiv when suddenly some great sages arrived there to have a sight of Bhagwan Shiv. Mata Parwati sank with shyness and ran to don some cloth. When the sages saw that Maa Gauri-Bhagwan Shiv were enjoying intimacy, they moved at once to the hermitage of Nar-Narayan. Right at that moment, in order to please Mata Parwati, Bhagwan Shiv said that any male except him, would turn into a female as soon as he entered the forest. It was because of these words of Bhagwan Shiv, that Sudyumn and his companions were transformed into females. While Sudyumn was roaming as woman, Budh, the son of Chandr, fell in love with her and they agreed to get married. From their marriage, a son, Pururava was born. Sudyumn, as a woman, prayed to Bhagwan Shiv to free him from womanhood. Bhagwan Shiv blessed Sudyumn that he would be a man for a month and a woman for another. Thus this cycle would continue throughout his life. Thereafter, Sudyumn returned to his kingdom and began to rule it religiously. He got three sons in due course, Utkal, Gay and Vimal. In the twilight of his life, Sudyumn gave his kingdom to Pururava and he took exile.
(8). PRATHU महाराज पृथु :: He was the son of Ven, killed by the sages for being a man of vices-vicious tendencies, without virtues and morals. Ven was cruel, arrogant, brutal, torturous. His body was churned by the sages and Prathu evolved considered to be an aspect of Bhagwan Shri Hari Vishnu.
He was married to Arci. Armed with scimitars, bows and arrows and well-versed in the science of weapons, he was fully acquainted with the Veds and their branches. Guru Shukrachary became his priest, Garg his astrologer, Bal Khily his counsellors and the Saraswats as his companions. Prathu levelled the land for cultivation and human habitation. He cultivated 17 kinds of crops for producing food grains. He gave land to the Sut and the Magadh and made them kings. Prathu planed villages and cities for human habitation.
MILKING THE EARTH IN THE FORM OF A COW :: King Prathu is regarded as having the aspect-Avtar of Bhagwan Shri Hari Vishnu. Once during the reign of King Prathu, there was a scarcity of food (famine), grains. The citizens came to the King and informed him about the situation. Having arrived at the conclusion that Mother Earth is responsible for the same, he took his bow and arrow and aimed at the Earth. The Earth became afraid and took the form of a cow. King Prathu chased the Earth wherever she went. Helpless the Earth turned back and addressed the King. She requested him to spare her and pardon her. She asked him why was he so much anxious to kill a woman?! Prathu said that she had defied his orders and rulings. She has accepted the offerings from the Yagnik without producing the food grain. So, she deserved killing.
The Earth said that the seeds were soiled being stocked for a long period of time. They could not germinate. She suggested procedures for procuring the seeds for sowing so that they could germinate and produce food grains. She further asked the king to milk her with the help of suitable calf with the help of suitable milk man. Then everyone milked the Mother Earth to get what they needed. Sages made Vrahaspati a calf and milked the knowledge of Veds, Demigods made Indr a calf and milked the rejuvenating extract called Som. The Asurs, Diti, Gandharv, Apsara, Pitr, Siddh, Vidya Dhar, Kim Purush, Yaksh, Rakshas, all milked the cow. The Mother Earth provided all with what they needed.
ASHW MEDH YAGY BY PRATHU :: Prathu performed 99 Ashw Medh Yagy (horse sacrifices, having defeated the kings each time). Every demigod participated in the Yagy. Completion of 100 Yagy would lead to the dismissal of Indr from the Kingdom of heaven and the 100th Yagy would dethrone Indr. He therefore disguised himself and stole the last horse that had to be sacrificed at the 100th event. Indr while returning in space was seen by Sage Atri. The Sage seeing Indr dressed as a liberated soul, understood the whole situation. Prathu realized Indr's misdeed and chased him to kill, but pardoned him being disguised as a sage and Brahmn by birth. Indr fled the seen leaving behind the horse. Prathu returned with the horse but abandoned the sacrifice, being advised not to complete the 100th Yagy, since he himself was an incarnation of Bhagwan Vishnu along with Indr.
पृथु एक सूर्य वंशी राजा थे, जो वेन के पुत्र थे। स्वायंभुव मनु के वंशज राजा अंग का विवाह सुनिथा नामक स्त्री से हुआ था। वेन उनका पुत्र हुआ। वह पूरी धरती का एक मात्र राजा था। सिंहासन पर बैठते ही उसने यज्ञ-कर्मादि बंद कर दिये। तब ऋषियों ने मंत्र पूत कुशों से उसे मार डाला, लेकिन सुनिथा ने अपने पुत्र का शव संभाल कर रखा। राजा के अभाव में पृथ्वी पर पाप कर्म बढऩे लगे। तब ब्राह्मणों ने मृत राजा वेन की भुजाओं का मंथन किया, जिसके फलस्वरूप स्त्री-पुरुष का जोड़ा प्रकट हुआ। पुरुष का नाम पृथु तथा स्त्री का नाम अर्चि हुआ। अर्चि पृथु की पत्नी हुई। पृथु पूरी धरती के एक मात्र राजा हुए। पृथु ने ही उबड़-खाबड़ धरती को जोतने योग्य बनाया। नदियों, पर्वतों, झरनों आदि का निर्माण किया। राजा पृथु के नाम से ही इस धरा का नाम पृथ्वी पड़ा।

राजा सगर के साठ हजार पुत्रों के जन्म की कथा :: सगर की दो रानियां थीं, केशिनी और सुमति। दीर्घकाल तक संतान जन्म न होने पर राजा अपनी दोनों रानियों के साथ हिमालय पर्वत पर जाकर पुत्र कामना से तपस्या करने लगे। तब महर्षि भृगु ने उन्हें वरदान दिया कि एक रानी को साठ हजार अभिमानी पुत्र प्राप्त तथा दूसरी से एक वंशधर पुत्र होगा।
सुमति ने तूंबी के आकार के एक गर्भ-पिंड को जन्म दिया। राजा उसे फेंक देना चाहते थे किंतु तभी आकाशवाणी हुई कि इस तूंबी में साठ हजार बीज हैं। घी से भरे एक-एक मटके में एक-एक बीज सुरक्षित रखने पर कालांतर में साठ हजार पुत्र प्राप्त होंगे। इसे महादेव का विधान मानकर सगर ने उन्हें वैसे ही सुरक्षित रखा। समय आने पर उन मटकों से साठ हजार पुत्र उत्पन्न हुए। जब राजा सगर ने अश्वमेध यज्ञ किया तो उन्होंने अपने साठ हजार पुत्रों को उस घोड़े की सुरक्षा में नियुक्त किया।
देवराज इंद्र ने उस घोड़े को छलपूर्वक चुराकर कपिल मुनि के आश्रम में बाँध दिया। राजा सगर के साठ हजार पुत्र उस घोड़े को ढूँढते-ढूँढते जब कपिल मुनि के आश्रम पहुँचे तो उन्हें लगा कि मुनि ने ही यज्ञ का घोड़ा चुराया है। यह सोचकर उन्होंने कपिल मुनि का अपमान कर दिया। ध्यानमग्न कपिल मुनि ने जैसे ही अपनी आँखें खोली राजा सगर के 60 हजार पुत्र वहीं भस्म हो गए।
He married two wives and acquired 60,001 sons by the grace-boon from Bhagwan Maha Dev, who turned out to be violent and cruel. Sagar performed 99 Ashw Medh Yagy. However, the sacrificial horse for the 100th sacrifice was stolen by Indr-the king of heaven on the south eastern shores of the ocean, which was at that time an empty bed with no water in it. During the course of their search they caused great destruction by their reckless search. They digged out massive tracts of the earth, which filled with he first ocean (Sagar) and massacred many people in the process. They were eventually reduced to ashes by Kapil Muni-incarnation of Bhagwan Vishnu. Only the kind hearted Anshuman, the sole grandson of Sagar who was alone worthy of being king succeeded in pacifying Kapil Muni and brought back the horse. Anshuman's grandson, Bhagirath succeeded in washing those sins of his forefathers by bringing Maa Ganga to earth, nicknamed Bhagirathi after his name.

As a youth, Raghu was guarding the sacrificial horse for his father's hundredth Ashw Medh Yagy when Dev Raj Indr feared that Raghu's father would become more powerful than him upon the completion of the sacrifice. He stealthily stole the horse. Raghu was enraged and the two engaged in a duel, where Raghu thwarted all of Indr's attacks. Indr hurled his Vajr (thunderbolt) at Raghu and knocked him senseless. Raghu quickly gained his consciousness & jumped back on to his feet, but Dev Raj Indr preferred to run away out of fear. Raghu's father was proud of his son's valour and crowned him king.

Dash Rath could hit archery targets just by listening to the sound, but he accidentally slew a poor old, blind Brahman's son named Shravan.

The earliest history of the clan claims that they moved from Lahore to Shiv Desh or Chittor in 134 AD.

Sisodia is one of the Rajput clans, which claim Sury Vanshi lineage. A dynasty belonging to this clan ruled over the kingdom of Mewar in Rajasthan. The name of the clan is also transliterated as Sesodia, Shishodia, Sishodia, Shishodya, Sisodya, Sisodhya or Sisodiya.
The Sisodia dynasty traced its ancestry to Rahapa, a son of the 12th century Guhila king Ran Simha. The main branch of the Guhila dynasty ended with their defeat against the Khilji dynasty at the Siege of Chittorgarh (1303). Some years later, the Sisodias took control of the former Guhila capital Chittor.
Sisodias, like many other Rajput clans, claim origin from the legendary Suryavansha or solar dynasty. Rajprashasti Mahakavyam, a 17th century laudatory text commissioned by Mewar's ruler Rana Raj Singh, contains a partly mythical, partly legendary and partly historical genealogy of the Sisodias. The work was authored by Ranchhod Bhatt, a Telangana Brahmn whose family received regular gifts from the Sisodias. The genealogy traces the dynasty's origin to the rulers of Ayodhya, starting with Manu, who was succeeded by several emperors from the Ikshvaku dynasty, such as Ram. One ruler Vijay left Ayodhya for South as per a heavenly command (the exact place of his settlement is not mentioned). He was succeeded by 14 rulers whose names end in the suffix–aditya (Sun). Grahaditya, the last of these, established a new dynasty called Grahaputra (i.e., the Guhila dynasty). His eldest son Vashapa is said to have conquered Chitrakuta (modern Chittor) in 8th century and adopted the title Rawal, thanks to a boon from Shiv.
Grahaditya and Vashapa (better known as Bappa Rawal) are both popular figures in the Rajasthani folklore. Their successors include people who are known to be historical figures. According to the Rajprashasti genealogy, one of these-Samar Singhmarried Prathi, the sister of Prithvi Raj Chauhan. His grandson Rahapa adopted the title Rana (monarch). Rahapa's descendants spent some time at a place called Sisoda, and therefore, came to be known as "Sisodia".[Persian text Maaser-al-Omra, the Sisodia Ranas of Udaipur originated from Noshizad, son of Noshirwan-i-Adil, the eldest daughter of Yazdegerd (III)].
Rawal Pindi in Pakistan is named after Bappa Rawal. Pindi stands for Shiv Ling.

According to the Sisodia chronicles, when the Delhi Sultan Alauddin Khilji attacked Chittor Garh in 1,303, the Sisodia men performed saka (fighting to death), while their women committed Jauhar (self-immolation in preference to becoming enemy captives). This was repeated twice: when Bahadur Shah of Gujarat besieged Chittor Garh in 1,535, and when the Mughal emperor Akbar conquered it in 1,567.
Frequent skirmishes with the Mughals greatly reduced the Sisodia power and the size of their kingdom. The Sisodias ultimately accepted the Mughal suzerainty, and some even fought in the Mughal army. However, the art and literary works commissioned by the subsequent Sisodia rulers emphasised their pre-Mughal past.The Sisodias were the last Rajput dynasty to form an alliance with the Mughals, and unlike other Rajput clans, never intermarried with the Mughal imperial family. Women from other Rajput clans that had marital relations with the Mughals were disallowed from marrying with the Sisodias. The Sisodias cultivated an elite identity distinct from other Rajput clans through the poetic legends, eulogies and visual arts commissioned by them. James Tod, an officer of the British East India Company, relied on these works for his book Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan. His widely read work further helped spread the views of the Sisodias as a superior Rajput clan in colonial and post-colonial India. Tod's work is now considered to be unreliable.put clan, who claim Sury Vanshi lineage. A dynasty belonging to this clan ruled over the kingdom of Mewar in Rajasthan. The name of the clan is also transliterated as Sesodia, Shishodia, Sishodia, Shishodya, Sisodya, Sisodhya or Sisodiya.
The most notable Sisodia rulers were Rana Hamir (1,326-64), Rana Kumbha (1,433-68), Rana Sanga (1508–1528) and Rana Pratap (1,572-97). The Bhonsle clan, to which the Maratha empire's founder Shivaji belonged, also claimed descent from a branch of the royal Sisodia family. Similarly, Rana dynasty of Nepal also claimed descent from Ranas of Mewar.

They claim descent from Kush, the younger of the twin sons of Bhagwan Shri Ram. The Kachhwaha clan ruled in Jaipur right up until modern times. The last ruling Maha Raja of Jaipur was Sawai Man Singh (2) of Jaipur (1,917–1,970).
