 mentioned in Taittiriya Brahmana of Yajurveda,and Smritis which mention "Rathakara" who has high ritual and socio-political status.Hindu doctrines "Hiraṇyakeśisutra", "Bṛhajjātiviveka","Jātiviveka","Saṅkha smṛti", and "Añjabila" mention different types of Rathakaras.Most of them can be called Saṅkara Jāti or mixed caste, and their social status varies from that of a Brahmin to those considered fallen or degraded.Though the Daivadnyas(during the conflicts that arose in 19th century) refuted with this claim and insisted that if they are related to any Rathakara mentioned in the Shrutis, they belong to the Rathakara mentioned in the "Taittiriya Brahmana",for whom the higher ritual status is conferred and not other Rathakaras, which are of impure descent.Oral tradition of some of the Daivajna clans say that they came from Gauḍa Deśa and Dwaraka with their Kuldevatās (family deities).
