Surya Vamsha : the lineage or race of Kshatriyas who worship Sūrya as representing vijńāna the plane of revelatory Knowledge or Intuition. Two great kūlas (races) sprang from Ikshwāku who is revered as grandson of Sūrya: the elder kūla reigned at Ayodhya descended from Ikshvākū’s eldest son Vikukshu; the younger kūla reigned at Mithilā, descended from Nimi, another son of Ikshwāku. Most Rajput clans trace their descent from the Sūrya or the Chandra Vamsha.
