Khodia (खोडिया)[1] [2] Khodiya (खोडिया)[3] Khodiwal (खोडीवाल)[4] [5][6] is gotra of Jats. Khodi clan is found in Afghanistan.[7]

Origin

  • Kraustaki (क्रौष्टकी) was an ancient republic of Ayudhjivi Sangha known to Panini, which gave name to this clan.[8]
  • This gotra originated from place name called Khidwali (खिडवाली).[9]

Origin from Trigartas

Maheswari Prasad consider this gotra to be originated from ancient Trigarta clan named Krauṣṭakī. He[10] writes that it appears that at the time of the final redaction of the Mahabharata the tradition of the six important clans of the Trigartas was well established. It is carious to note that in connection with the application of a suffix Panini makes a reference to the Damini (दामिनी) group and the six Trigartas (दामन्यादि त्रिगर्तसष्टाच्छ: v.3.116). On the basis of an ancient verse the Kashika commentary names these as Kauṇḍoparastha (कौण्डोपरस्थ) , Dāṇḍakī (दाण्डकी), Krauṣṭakī (क्रौष्टकी), Jālamāni (जालमानि), Brahmagupta (ब्रह्मगुप्त), and Jānaki (जानकी). These communities mentioned in the grammatical literature can be identified with following Jat Gotra names:

  • (3) Dāṇḍakī (दाण्डकी): Dangi,
  • (5) Jālamāni (जालमानि): Jali,
