Where is the proof that Yashodharman was a Jat and his clan name was Virk?

Is Virk derived from the Sanskrit Vrka for wolf?

Virk is a Jat clan name. Virk Jats are found from West Punjab, down to Madhya Pradesh.

Virk Jats are still found in large numbers in the Mandsor region of today’s Madhya Pradesh . Guru Tegh Bahadur stayed with them when he traveled to that area.

Virk from Vrka, Could be!

We find this as a clan name in the Rig Veda too.
