Agi (अगि) is gotra of Jats. Agi gotra started from a Jat named Aksha (अक्ष) in Shloka 53, who are also considered as descendants of rishi Agastya. (See - Mahabharata Shalya Parva)[1]
Mahabharata Shalya Parva mentions names of combatants armed with diverse weapons and clad in diverse kinds of robes and ornaments, All of them came to the ceremony for investing Kartikeya with the status of generalissimo. Shalya Parva in Sanskrit mentions in shloka 53, 54 Aksha along with Kanchaps, Kundus, and Jat as under:
- द्रॊण शरवाः कपिस्कन्धः काञ्चनाक्षॊ जलं धमः
- अक्षसंतर्जनॊ राजन कुनदीकस तमॊ ऽभरकृत ।। 53 ।।
