Samira Sheikh says that Chudasama were originally pastoralists. She adds that, the Jadejas , Chudasamas , Bhatis  and Sammas originate from four brothers{{mdash}}Aspat, Gajpat, Narpat and Bhupat{{mdash}}who descended from Krishna. This mythologised genealogy claims that the brothers first together conquered Egypt. After the Islamic conquest, Aspat converted to Islam and founded the Samma dynasty; then Gajpat conquered [[Ghazni]]; Bhupat established [[Hanumangarh|Bhatner]]; and Narpat, after first founding Nagar-Samoi in Sindh, became ancestor of Chandracuda, the first Chudasama ruler.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|last=Kapadia|first=Aparna|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=qrxsDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA81|title=Gujarat: The Long Fifteenth Century and the Making of a Region|date=2018-05-16|publisher=Cambridge University Press|isbn=978-1-107-15331-8|pages=13|language=en}} in {{Cite journal|last=Sheikh|first=Samira|date=2008-05-01|title=Alliance, Genealogy and Political Power: The Cūdāsamās of Junagadh and the Sultans of Gujarat|journal=The Medieval History Journal|language=en|volume=11|issue=1|pages=29–61|doi=10.1177/097194580701100102|s2cid=154992468|issn=0971-9458}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|last=Kothiyal|first=Tanuja|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=be-7CwAAQBAJ&q=Narpat|title=Nomadic Narratives: A History of Mobility and Identity in the Great Indian Desert|date=2016|publisher=Cambridge University Press|isbn=978-1-107-08031-7|pages=56|language=en}}</ref> Similar claims with slightly different details have been recorded by past Indologists including [[James Tod|Tod]], Burgess, Desai and Rayjada.
