A subcaste of Dahait, Gond and Pasi.
_Aranya_ .-- Name of one of the ten orders of Gosains.
_Are_ .-- A cultivating caste of the Chanda District, where they numbered 2000 persons in 1911.

The caste are also found in Madras and Bombay, where they commonly return themselves under the name of Marathi; this name is apparently used in the south as a generic term for immigrants from the north, just as in the Central Provinces people coming from northern India are called Pardeshi.
