 It is said that one who came to his kingdom, to be a citizen, was given 1 brick and 1 coin by every other resident.The coins he would end up with, would provide money to set up a new business (thus ensuring his income) and the bricks would help him build his house.According to Bharatendu Harishchandra's narrative, the Agrawals are divided into seventeen and a half gotras (exogamous clans), which came into being from seventeen and a half sacrifices performed by Agrasen.
