EnglishBrahma-kṣatra, Brahma-kṣatriya (EI 5, 12, 24), a Kṣatriya
family claiming descent from a Brāhmaṇa parent
a family in
which the blood of the Brāhmaṇas and Kṣatriyas has been
mixed. See Vishveshvaranand Ind. Journ., Vol. I, pp. 87 ff., etc.
In one record (Journ. Karnatak Univ., Vol. II, No 2, January
1959, p. 47), the Nāgavaṃśa, to which a Kadamba king's
minister Māyideva belonged, is called Brahma-kṣatra because it
originated from the intercourse of its progenitor Nāgarāja with
a Brāhmaṇa girl. Brahma-vaiśya should be likewise explained.
