Bisa Porwal (Porwal Jain) ki gotra vayaktiyon ki parampara me social clan ya lineage ko dikhata hai. Śvetāmbara Porwal samudaay me 24 gotra (chourasi nahi) hoti hain, jo kai bar Visā (Visa), Dasā, Pañcā jaise vibhinna pahchaanon se alag-alag kaha jata hai. Kuch jagah “Bisa” ya “Visa” ki tarah likha-padhha jata hai, lekin mool arth yahi hai ki yeh ek gotra hai jo parivaarik-pahchaan dikhata hai, na ki dharmic ya aadhyatmik drishtikon se upar ki sthiti.

Jain dharma me gotra ko samajhne ki drishti:

• Gotra ek samudaayik pehchan hai, jo misaal ke taur par shadi ke bahir (exogamy) ki parampara me madad karta hai.
• Digambar aur Śvetāmbara dono paramparaon me gotra ka mool uddeshya samudaayik pehchaan hai; aadhyatmik gati ya keval dharmik mokṣ par asar nahi dalta.
• Porwal jaise Śvetāmbara samudaay me 24 gotra ki parampara aam milti hai; list region/gharane ke hisaab se thodi bahut farq ho sakti hai.

Note: Digambar ya Śvetāmbara ki exact bhaasha ya naam-kshan (jaise Visā, Dasā, Pañcā) thoda alag ho sakta hai, par mool arth same hai: yeh social gotra pehchaan hai, na ki aadhyatmik ya shikshan ki gati.
