Bundela

[2][3][4] Over several generations, the cadet lineages of Bundela Rajputs founded several states in area what came to be known as Bundelkhand anciently known as Chedi Kingdom from the 16th century.

[5][6] As per Jaswant Lal Mehta, the word "Bundela" is based on a deity, named Bind-bhasini Devi, who is believed to have her abode on the Bindhachal, the northern most part of the Vindhya ranges.

To get his share of the kingdom, Sohanpal sought help from Naga (alias Hurmat Singh), the Khangar ruler of Kurar (Kundar).

[11] The official records of the Chhatarpur State also mentioned the clan of its rulers as "Panwar Bundela".

Its founder was a Panwar, who was in service of the Bundela ruler of Panna State until 1785 CE.
