Question about the origin of agni-kula legend

[Guest guest]

According to the legend of the agni-kunda at Abu, some of the Rajput

clans originated from the fire and are thus called agni-kula.

 

I am trying to examine the chronolgy involved.

 

It seems that the earliest mention of the legend mentioning the

origin of multiple clans from the fire is in some later manuscripts

of Prithviraj Raso; it is not present the older 1585 CE manuscript.

 

It is mentioned in the Bhavishya Purana, however interpolation in

this Purana date as late as the British rule.

 

Prior to 1585, only the Paramaras were said to have emerged from the

agni-kunda. This story about the Paramaras goes back to Padmagupta

who write his fictional Navasahasanka-charita (but the hero is

identifiable as his patron Paramara Sinduraja) composed around 1005

CE.

 

Are there any mentions prior to 1585 of the Agni-Kula class of

Rajputs, or any mentions of the origin of the Paramaras from the

fire predating the Navasahasanka-charita?
