== Ancient Geographical Origins ==
Parvatiyar Ambashtha Kayastha, normally, trace their origins to Magadha region of Bihar.Perhaps, originally, their forefathers were from "Parvatti" or "Parvati" village of "Magadha", hence, they were known and designated as "Parvatiyar". However, in absence of any documentary or historical proof, it would be difficult to prove the true origins of the word "Parvatiyar". It may be noted that Ambashtha sub-caste or tribe were inhabitants, in ancient times, of North Western India in the lower Chenab region. They migrated eastwards, in course of time, to finally settle in Magadha region of Bihar. This fact is evident from description of their country in Mahabharata(II,48,14) and in Bhagavata Purana(X, 83,23).They are also mentioned in Brahmanda Purana(III,74,22), Matsya Purana(48,21), Vayu_Purana and Vishnu Purana(II,3,18). Panini also refers to it in one of his sutras(VIII, 3,97). Mahabharata mentions(II,52,14-15) Ambashtha as one of the north-western tribes.During the first quarter of the 2nd century A.D., the Ambashtha are referred to by the geographer Ptolemy as settled in the east of the country.(Ref: McCrindle authored 'Ancient India as described by Ptolemy', pp 311–312)
