Prodyota (प्रोद्योत) was a king of Avanti, now known as Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh. Podoth (पोदोथ) gotra of Jats have originated from King Prodyota (प्रोद्योत) of Avanti. [1]

History

The inscriptions of Buddhists and Jainas give us information on the events which took place after the death of founders of these two religions. We know scarcely anything about the latter part of Ajatashatru's reign. There is evidence that he fought Prodyota, the king of Avanti, and that for a time at least the fortunes did not favour him.[2]
