According to ‘Mahajan Vansh Muktavali’ Yati Ramlalji wrote the story of gotra Mohnot as under –

Rao Raipal of Khed (Kishangarh) had 12 sons out of them Mohanji and Panchiseeji left Khed and settled at Jaisalmer. Ravalji of Jaisalmer honoured them. Jaisalmer Diwan was Shrimal Jain. He gave his daughter in marriage to Mohanji, when he converted him self and became Oswal Jain.

Mohanji had two wives, one was Rajput and the other was Shrimal. The family of Rajput wife was named Mohania Rathore and family of Shrimal wife was named Mohnot. Family of Panchiseeji was named Pincha. It is also said that Mohnot and Pincha are the last gotras in the history of Oswals.

According to the Khyat of Mohonot, the story of origin of Mohnot is different. One day Mohanji went for hunting in the Jungle. There he shot a pregnant hind. At the time of death the hind gave birth to a deer. It started to drink milk of his mother. When Mohnji saw this critical scene, his heart melted. By chance Acharya Shivsenji was passing through that way, Mohnaji requested the Acharya, “sir, if you give the life to this dead hind by means of your Mantras, I would be much obliged. I will remain in your orders in future.”

When Acharya gave the life to that hind by chanting Mantras. Mohanji became disciple of the Acharya, and converted himself to an Oswal. His gotra was named Mohnot.

According to Raibahadur Gaurishankar Hirachad Ojha, the origin of gotra Mohnot is from the pedigree of Rathore Rao Sihanji the king of Mandore. Mohan was son of Rampal, Rampal was son of Dhuhad, Dhuhad was son of Aaspal and Aaspal was son of Sihanji. From this pedigree there was one more branch, which is called Mohaia Rathore. Mohan accepted Jainism in the old age, so his pedigree was Jain. They got mixed with Oswals. The younger brother of mohan was Subharsen. His 19th descendants were Jaimal. Mohnots were on high posts at the time of Maharaja Soorsingh and Gajsingh. They had been Ministers since 1696. He had five sons, named Nensee, sunderdas, Aaskaran, Narsinghdas and Jagmal.

According to the KHYAT of Rathores, king of Marwar Kidnaped Mangabudh and converted him Charan, so for taking revenge Raval of Jaisalmer married the daughter of his Shrishrimal Minister to the mohanji, and converted Mohanji into Oswal caste.

Hence, it is proved that the origin of gotra Mohnot is from Mohanji Rathore, but how he got converted as Mahajan is controversial.
