The Seuna dynasty claimed descent from the Chandravanshi Yadavas (Yaduvanshis) of north India. According to verse 21 of Vratakhand (a Sanskrit work by Hemadri), the Seunas were originally from Mathura and later moved to Dwaraka.

Hemdari calls them Krishnakulotpanna (i.e., descendants of Lord Krishna). The Marathi saint Dnyaneshwar describes them as Yadukulvansh tilak. Some Seuna inscriptions call them Dvaravatipuravaradhishvaras ("masters of Dvaravati or Dwaraka"). Several modern researchers, such as Dr. Kolarkar, also believe that Yadavas came from North India.

The remains of Khandesh (the historical stronghold of Yaduvanshi Ahirs) are popularly believed to be of Gawli Raj, which archaeologically belongs to the Yadavas of Devgiri. For this reason, the historian Reginald Edward Enthoven believed that the Yadavas of Devagiri could have been Abhiras.

According to one belief, Deoghur or Doulatabad was built in AD 1203 by a Dhangar or herdsman (possibly related to the Abhiras or Ahirs). The leader of these herdsmen, who had acquired vast wealth, assumed the rank of a Raja. The Yadava kings of Devgiri could have been his descendants.
