Sahyādrikhaṇḍa or Sahyadri Khand, written in Sanskrit, and is considered as part of Skandapurāṇa.[1][2] It contains the legend of the origin of the Chitpavan Brahmins and Chandraseniya Kayastha Prabhus, Migration of Saraswat Brahmins from Trihotra to Goa along with Parashurama and the origin of Karade Brahmins.[3]
The Sahyadri-khanda includes disparate texts that date from 5th to 13th centuries, and have been organized as part of a single text relatively recently.[4][5]
