The Jat emperor Yashodharman Virk was ruling at Mandsor in Central India, in the early 6th century.


According to his Mandsor Pillar inscription- see Files section – Yashodharman,

he defeated the Hun Chief Mihirkula around 515 AD.

Candragomin, or Chandragomin, the great 6th century Grammarian, refers to this in his Grammar, when he writes

“ Ajay Jarta Hunan”

Or

The Jats were victorious over the Huns. That ended the Hun incursions into India, and they were absorbed, moistly into the Jat tribes.

The Huns themselves were Jats, but simply a later wave of the some stock that shook the then known world from Central Asia to Europe to India.

In Haryana today the name – Athila or Attila can still be found
