Saryupareen Brahmins (Hindi: सरयू पारीण ब्राह्मण), also known as Sarvarya Brahmins or Saryupariya Brahmins, are North Indian Brahmins residing on the eastern plain of the Sarayu near Ayodhya. Saryupareen families such as the Tripathis, Tiwaris, Trivedis, Pandeys, Shuklas, and Dikshits were involved solely in the research and analysis of Vedas and other religious texts, performing yajnas and other religious practices. These families did not perform 'pujas for benefactors and did not take dakshinas or donations against such prayers. Hence they were considered to be solely devoted to the quest of learning about the Vedas and spreading knowledge rather than benefiting in any way through benefactors. They are one of the most orthodox Brahmins of Northern India. They are mostly vegetarian, non-smoker, non-drinker and well educated. Most of them were even learned scholars during medieval period.
Saryupareens generally dwell in states of Uttar Pradesh (60%), Bihar (30%) and other areas (10%) which include Madhya Pradesh, Delhi, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Maharashtra and also overseas in the Caribbean and Mauritius. According to the 2011 census, by caste, 3.87% of the population of India is Brahmin, and their total literacy rate is >97.5%, 98% -males, >97%-females. Saryupareen Brahmins total literacy rate is >99%. Therefore, there is a lot of brotherhood among these Brahmin sub-castes and Dr. Hazari Prasad Dwivedi has mentioned it in his writings.[1]
Families & classification
These Brahmins are divided into three categories—Paitiha also known as Pankti Paavan meaning who sat in a row; Jatiha or Jaati kula also known as Gangaparin; and Tutiha or Truti kula. The Paitihas are classified into 3 plus 13 homes. The home of 3 consists of disciples of three gotras: Gargya, Gautama, and Shandilya; the Garga rishi and his disciples were the first to study the Yajurveda in their ashrams. After that, Gautama rishi and Shandilya rishi also started to study Yajurveda and Samaveda 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 Vashishta, Krishnatraya, Kashyapa and Bharadwaja gotras and the classification of Tutihas are Parashara, Vashishta, Upamanyu, Sankrithi, Agastya, Kaushika, etc. The family tree of Saryupareen Brahmins consists of ten branches Tiwari or Tripathi, Shukla, Mishra, Pandey, Ojha, Dikshit, Dwivedi or Dubey, Pathak, Chaturvedi or Chowbey, and Upadhyaya.
