Jatasara

From Jatland Wiki

Jatasara (जटासरा) Jatasra (जटासरा) is a Gotra of Jats. They are mentioned in Brahat Samhita as Jatasura (जटासुरा), along with the Potals, Chhinas, Bhallas, etc. Mahabharata reports that Krishna was abducted by Jatasura and Sabha Parva mentions Jatasura Madra-Kas, as bringing presents for Pandavas. They are now called Asra (आसरा), the prefix Jat, coming from Mahabharata times is dropped, just as Jatranas are called now Ranas only.^{[1] [2]}
