Bhats are those guy who maintain record family history and according to them tyagi are descendents of lord parshuram and according to mythology there is belief that lord parshuram had asked the bhargav’s not to take bhiksha, those who obeyed his words and they left taking bhiksha, they are called the tyagi’s and the other rest of followers are called shrama’s, pandey’s, mishra’s and other brahmin cast.
