These families did not perform "[[puja (Hinduism)|pujas]]" for benefactors and take "dakshinas" ([[donation]]s) for those 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.<ref name=":0" />
