Capacity and Profession 

Those in conventions of lecturing, verse and lineage were once in a while affirmed for misrepresentation and manufacture of issue, anyway realities truth despite everything stayed there in inconspicuous structure. Essentially, during medieval time, and after savage assaults and ensuing intrusions, the developing poor financial image of India provoked different clans and standings also to enjoy into the fields and calling of Brahma Bhatts, in the long run getting as and presenting themselves as Bhat/Bhatt/Brahmbhatt, which would result into writing and verse of shallow and exorbitant nature. Simultaneously, developing populace and political - professional changes may have credited to this angle where their fundamental pay source would remain their writing and accessible help divisions at oppressed occasions.

Disregarding old fanciful records, some chronicled investigate works propose that it is referenced in 'Shrimad Bhagwad Gita' that lords (Kshatriyas/warriors) of that time used to get their little girl to 'Rishi' (Brahmins) so as to serve or love them. The blended type of Brahmins and Kshatriyas were called 'Brahmbhatt'= Brahm (Kshatriya) + Bhatt (Brahmin). Subsequently, Brahmbhatt 'Sanskar' (information on) Brahmin, because of the Brahmin father and 'Rakt' (Blood) of Kshatriya, due to Kshyatriya Mother. There are a few models like 1. Chavan Rishi, extraordinary Brahmin of his time, was made wed to a lord's little girl. 2. Lord Dushyant's little girl was given to a rishi. Brahmbhatts were given due regard in the public eye and were called 'Deviputra' (Son of God). They used to be in 'Rajdarbar' (panel of the ruler) as an artist or consultant of lord.

Change, Social Highs and Lows 

During their another progressive movement from realms of Rajputana to Gujarat, they were separated into various levels under their position. Also, this is when and where different positions with somewhat comparable social/social direction, for example, Charan, Gadhvi, Vahivancha, Bhat/Bhaat, Bards, and so forth who are found across Gujarat have acquired and followed a few practices and calling which the Brahmabhatts would do every so often, for example, verse, narrating, composing, revere, and so on. These wonders, alongside family history became boss character of other above gatherings of Charan, Gadhvi, Vahivancha, and so on and later, it got critical to have an official/head Barot for each position and network who might keep genealogical and measurable verifiable records of ages, and inevitable cross-rearing brought forth numerous divisions and rise of a high-to-low social sequence in this station. 

During the reign of Gayekead in Gujarat, numerous Brahmbhatts got changed over into Barot in light of the fact that 'Baharvatiya' (privateers of that time) were just leaving 'Bawa (Sadhu/Prophet), Baman (Brahmin) and Barot' while assaulting individuals.

One of the authors makes reference to, the Grandfather of his Grandmother was sent this Jasachitthi by Mirkha, an acclaimed privateer of his time, however he (incredible maternal granddad) was not plundered as privateers came to realize that he was Brahmbhatt (Barot). Eunuchs, even today, give due regard to Barot as they are known as Deviputra (Goddess' own kid), and ever, a Barot used to drive the chariot of Goddess Bahuchara.
