[citebook|title=India's Silent Revolution: The Rise of the Lower Castes in North India|author=Christophe Jaffrelot|year=2003|publisher=C. Hurst & Co. Publishers|id=ISBN 1850653984] These Brahmins are divided into three categories — Paitiha also known as Pankti Paavan meaning who sat in a row, Jatiha that is Jaati kul also known as Gangaparin and Tutiha that is Truti kul. The Paitihas are classified into 3 plus 13 homes. The home of 3 consists of disciples of three "gotras": Garga, Gautam, and Shandilya; the Garga "rishi" and his disciples were the first to study "Yajurveda" in their "ashrams". After that, Gautam "rishi" and Shandilya "rishi" also started to study "Yajurveda" and "Samveda" in their "ashrams". The home of 3 is the most highly regarded amongst Saryupareen Brahmins. 13 other "rishis" learnt these and other branches of the Hindu "vedas" in their "ashrams"; and they are known as the home of 13. Similarly, Gangaparin are classified into Vashishtha, Krishnatreya, Kashyap and Bharadwaj gotras and the classification of Tutihas are Parashar, Vashishtha, Upmanyu, Sankriti, Agastya, Kaushik, etc. The family tree of Saryupareen Brahmins consists of ten branches Shukul, Mishra, Ojha, Dikshit, Dwivedi or Dubey, Pathak, Tripathi or Tiwari, Pandey, Chaturvedi and Upadhyay.
