All of these are people from the Punjab or Uttarapatha region and apart from people of particular towns or countries, it lists four Jat clans, viz., the Ailavats, the Mallis, the Pauras, the Panghalas.


B S Dahiya[3] writes: Pangal are mentioned in Markandeya Purana and also by Varahamihira as Pingalaka.[4] By removing the suffix 'ka' we get the correct clan name as Pingala or Panghal. They have no connection with wings (Pankha) of any bird, as sugsested by Ibbetson.[5] They are now found in Mahindergarh dlstrict of Haryana.


B S Dahiya[6] writes: 118. Panghal - They are mentioned in the Satapatha Br. as Paingya.[7] This is from Pinga, the original word of Pingal or Pangal clan. Bri. Samhita mentions them as Pingalakas, along with Ailavats.
