It is said that when the five brahmins went to the court of Adisura, there were 700 families of brahmin residents in Bengal, who were called Saptasatis or Satsatis (meaning 700). These Saptasatis too were honoured by the rulers and often they received grants of villages. Gradually they became priests to the lower castes and thereby descended to the rank of degraded brahmins, even though they have boasted such surnames such as Chakravarty and Bhattacharya
