 In the Bachittar Natak, attributed to Guru Gobind Singh, Sodhis are described as linear descendants of Lava, one of the twin sons of Sita and Rama.According to the legend, some of the descendants migrated to "Sanaudh", where the clan chieftain married the daughter of the king and had a son "Sodhi", whose descendants ruled over the Sanaudh country.At the time of the Sikh Empire, Maharaja Ranjit Singh awarded aristocratic Sodhi patricians grants of jagirs, feudal, titular land grants and lordships bestowed upon subjected noblemen and patrons by a ruling monarch, worth 500,000 a year.
