दशार्णा नव राष्ट्रं च मल्लाः शाल्व युगंधराः (IV.1.9)
Meaning-
In the thirteenth year of vanavasa Pandavas are supposed to pass their days undiscovered in the city of Virata. This is mentioned in Virata Parva.
Arjuna suggests to Yudhisthira, "...for purposes of residence, I shall mention some spots that are both delightful and secluded. Do thou select some one of them. Surrounding the kingdom of the Kurus, are, many countries beautiful and abounding in corn, such as Panchala, Chedi, Matsya, Surasena, Pattachchara, Dasarna, Navarashtra, Malla, Shalva, Yugandhara, Saurashtra, Avanti, and the spacious Kuntirashtra."
Now Pattachchara is mentioned with Surasena (Sura Jat Clan), Malla (Malla or Malli Jat clan) and Dasarna (Daspuria Jat clan). So Pattachchara can not be any thing other than Pachar.
शूरसेना भद्र कारा बॊधाः शाल्वाः पतच चराः
सुस्दराश च सुकुट्टाश च कुणिन्थाः कुन्तिभिः सह (II.13.25)
In the above shloka also Pattachchara is mentioned with Sura, Bhadra, bodha, Shalva and all these are Jat clans.
Raviji no Jat historian has suggested links with Mahabharata tribes with such evidences. Please try to understand sanskrit. It is not Jumble of information as said by you - "you are presenting a Jumble of information". It was done with great search from Mahabharat and not only Jat historians but others also did not try to make out sense from these information.
What harm will be done by this discussion I would like to know ? If Jats were there in Mahabharata period in what way it is against Jats?
