However, the connection that the region of their origin is near River Bhima, Maharastra cannot be ruled out. The mentioned region is a vast area and is impossible to locate the exact location. There are no definite details of their place of origin, somewhere in history it is mentioned that they were from the region between Narmada and Godavari. They were said to be a clan of Brahman descendants of intellectual Vedic and Divine Saint. The surname Bhatt, as per history originates from “Sanskrit” meaning scholar. Nayay Bhatt was not only an ascetic person but a great scholar of Vedas, particularly of Atharva Veda so his descendants come to be known as Atharva Bhumihar Brahmins. The Atharva Bhumihar Brahmins of Kaundiniya gotra ( pronounced Kaundiliya commonly) are descendants of Nayay Bhatt.
