In the book (page 136) "Hindu Society - An Interpretation" (1968),

Irawati Karve says -

 

"In Maharashtra there are Kanva, Jabala, Madhyandin and other smaller

castes..." while describing the Sukla Yajurvedi Deshastha Brahmins.

 

She describes the Kanva and Madhyandin in detail, but leaves out

Jabalas and others.

 

Could some shed more light on Jabalas? Is there any published work

that would contain information on this community, and on any

survivals of their Sakha texts?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Vishal
