Pahil (Jat clan) = Pahideva (पाहिदेव), a Kalachuri ruler in Raipur Chhatisgarh, mentioned in 'Raipur Stone Inscription Of Brahmadeva - (Vikrama) Year 1458 (=1402 AD)'. ... The pedigree of Hâjirâja (L.19,20) son Brahmadeva commences in verse 13 (L.18). Hâjirâja seems to have had two sons, Padmanabha (पद्मनाभ) (L.21) and Pahideva (पाहिदेव) (L.22). The former's son was Kanhada (कान्हड़) (L.21) and the latter's, Sivasharman (शिवशर्मन) . Two brothers of Hâjirâja are also named in verses 20 and 21. The elder of them was named Supau(सुपौ) (L.23) and the younger Geyâti (गेयाति) (L.24). The former of these had two sons, Gôlha (गोल्ह) (L.23) and Vishnudâsa. The inscription finally mentions the artisan Nâmadêva (नामदेव).

Pahlava (पह्लव) was a north-western Mahabharata tribe, defeated by Nakula (II.29.15); who joined the Kaurava forces (VI.20.13). ^[8] The Mahabharata Tribe - Pahlava (पह्लव) may be identified with Jat Gotra - Pahlawat (पहलावत)/Pahal (पहल).
