*[[Jat]] = [[Jateshvara]] (जटेश्वर). [[Ratanpur]] Stone Inscription Of Prithvideva II - ([[Kalachuri]]) Year 915 (=1163) mentions [[Jateshvara]] (जटेश्वर) in verse-16 ....(V. 16) In the fight, in which the strokes of his ([[Brahmadeva]], a feudatory of [[Kalachuri]] king Prithvideva II) creeper-like sword appeared like (flashes of) lighting and in-which it was difficult to move about on account of multitudes of streams of blood gushing forth from the necks of crowds of wrathful foes, he having attacked the hostile king [[Jateshvara]] (जटेश्वर) ...(p. 509)....The point of historical interest mentioned in the extant portion is that he ([[Brahmadeva]]) {[[Brahmadeva]] (L.11) was the foremost of the feudatories  of the contemporary Kalachuri king of Ratanpur (v. 11).} obtained a victory over [[Jatesvara]] (जटेश्वर) (L.16) who is evidently identical with the homonymous son of [[Anantavarman Chôdaganga]]. We are next told that Prithvïdêva, the lord of Kôsala, called him from the Talahari-mandala, and entrusting the government of his country to him, obtained peace of mind. This Prithvideva is evidently the second prince of that name in the Kalachuri dynasty of Ratanpur. <ref>[https://archive.org/details/corpusinscriptio014674mbp/page/n174/mode/1up?view=theater Corpus Inscriptionium Indicarium Vol IV Part 2 Inscriptions of the Kalachuri-Chedi Era, Vasudev Vishnu Mirashi, 1955, p.501-511]</ref>

*[[Jati]] ([[Jat clan]])  = [[Dhurjati]].

The religions merit of the former he assigned to his lord, Prithvideva. Besides these, he built ten shrines of [[Tryambaka]] ([[Siva]]) and dug two lotus-ponds at some place, the name of which is lost.   (p.503)....Durjati is mentioned in Verse-23...  (V. 23) In this [[Mallâla]], which lenders the circle of regions fragrant with abundant [full-blown] lotuses, he constructed a temple of Dhûrjati (Siva) while like lavala flowers and (distinguished) by these banners set in motion by wind, which remove the perspiration, caused by fatigue, of the horses of the sun (p.510) .....[[Dhurjati]] is again mentioned in verse-33....(V. 33) He constructed at [[Nârâyanapura]] a temple of [[Dhûrjati]] (Siva), white like the moon, which with its flags scrapes the sky.<ref>[https://archive.org/details/corpusinscriptio014674mbp/page/n174/mode/1up?view=theater Corpus Inscriptionium Indicarium Vol IV Part 2 Inscriptions of the Kalachuri-Chedi Era, Vasudev Vishnu Mirashi, 1955, p.501-511]</ref>
