Jat Gotras Namesake
- Sura (Jat clan) = Sur River. Sur River is a river of Nagpur district in Maharashtra, India. Ankollika (अङ्कोल्लिक) (L.17), mentioned in Nagardhan Plates Of Svamiraja : (Kalachuri) Year 322 (=573 AD), which was situated on the bank of the Shulanadi, has been identified by Vasudev Vishnu Mirashi with modern Aroli, on the right bank of the Sur River, about 8 miles south by east of Nagardhan.[3] Our view is that this village may be Akoli in Kuhi tehsil in Nagpur district of Maharashtra.
- Sula (Jat clan) = Sulanadi (सूलनदी) (L.15) = Sur River. Sur River is a river of Nagpur district in Maharashtra, India. Ankollika (अङ्कोल्लिक) (L.17), mentioned in Nagardhan Plates Of Svamiraja : (Kalachuri) Year 322 (=573 AD), which was situated on the bank of the Shulanadi, has been identified by Vasudev Vishnu Mirashi with modern Aroli, on the right bank of the Sur River, about 8 miles south by east of Nagardhan. The Sulanadi (सूलनदी) (L.15), on the bank of which it lay, is probably identical with the river Sur which flows only about 4 miles east of Nagardhan. This river is called Sura-nadi in L.39 of the Ramtek stone inscription of Ramachandra, Ep Ind Vol XXV, p 10. The name of the river seems to have changed from Sula-nadi to Sura-nadi in the course of the seven centuries that separate these two records[4] Our view is that this village may be Akoli in Kuhi tehsil in Nagpur district of Maharashtra.
