A friend of mine who is a Chitpavan Brahmin is doing research into Iyers who follow Satyashada Sutra. This sutra outside of Tamil Nadu is unique to Chitpavan Brahmins. Iyers that follow Satyashada Sutra have a unique gotra called Mathala which is not found anywhere in India. If anyone has information about the Brahmins who follow Satyashada Sutra or Mathala Gotra it would be useful. Pravara especially would be helpful.

However, Hiranyakeshi is a river approximately in Sindhudurg, Maharashtra, Hiranyakeshin brahmins are generally Chitpavan or Devrukhe (Maharashtrian).

Vadamas themselves are more or less genetically Marathi Brahmins (from Deshashta stock and Narmadiya stock - now Hindi speaking but originally Marathi), so this is par for the course.

Pravara for Punjabi "Mathara" gotra:

Bhargava, Sathara, Mathara Thrayarsheya

I agree with you theory of the origins of Vadama, I think we originate around the Narmada river region and the Desh. If you look at ancient land grants, many ancient Tamil Brahmins had the surname indicating origin from Dasapura, a city in modern day Madhya Pradesh. As for Mathara gotra, your proposed relation would make sense as well. Chitpavan Brahmins originate from North-West India, my Chitpavan friend thinks Khatris took the gotra of these ancient Purohits whose descendants migrated Southward to Konkan and Tamil Nadu.
