<p class="C1">&#65279TREHA&#7750, a sub-caste of Khatr&#299s. It belongs to the Sar&#299n group, one of the four sub-groups into which the Khatr&#299s are divided. They are categorized in two main divisions ---the higher and the lower. The Treha&#7751s belong to the higher group.</p>
<p class="C1">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The etymology of the word <i>treha&#7751</i> is not very clear. According to some, <i>treha&#7751</i> is the distorted form of conjunctive <i>trai-rin</i>, lit. three debts. The legend has it that their elder was freed in his lifetime itself from three Pur&#257&#7751ic debts --- debt to the parents, debt to the gods and debt to the <i>pitrs</i> (ancestors). According to another legend, Treha&#7751 is the title which an elder in the line known for his piety and philanthrophy adopted for himself.</p>
<p class="C1">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Treha&#7751s, also known as B&#257v&#257s, are numerically very small and are mostly found in and around Kha&#7693&#363r S&#257hib, in the Amritsar district, which was once the abode of Gur&#363 A&#7749gad, who was himself born in a Treha&#7751 family.</p>
