-the ChAhamAnas, chAlukya-s paramAra-s pratihAra-s are mentioned as the chief agni-bhU clans that were created in the yaj~na at arbuda parvata. As per some accounts the mAraTha clans like Shinde and Bhosle have been called Apa-bhU.

There have been more then 100 Chauhan inscriptions and copper plates discovered so far. Not a single one mentions them to be Agnivanshi.
Chauhan Gotracharya: Samved, Somvansh, Madhyandini Shakha, Vatsa Gotra, Panch Parvar....
Note if Chauhans were Fire born there Gotra would have been Vashist.
Accurate descriptions of Chauhan kings in works like Prithviraj Vijay, Hammir MahaKavya, etc. do not mention Chauhans being Agnivanshi.
Middle of 16th century work, Prithviraj Raso is the first time Chauhans are mentioned as Agnivanshi. (Only a small kernel of this work is accurate).
This inaccuracy has been embellished over the centuries and people have started to falsely believe Agnikula origin of Chauhans.
Similarly there are other inaccuracies in Raso like the most glaring one: Anang Pal Tomar of Delhi is shown as a Nana of Prithviraj Chauhan (This inaccuracy has also been copied to Sarv Khap records) when in fact Prithviraj's mother was from the Kalachuri dynasty of Tripuri, Madhya Pradesh. In fact I have seen Indians argue that how could Prithviraj Chauhan marry his maternal aunt's daughter!
