v1.c11.88.5

The greater number of the Śāsana Brāhmaṇas are Vaiṣṇavas of the older, or Vaidika, form. All the other castes are generally Vaiṣṇavas of the Caitanya or Nityānanda *sampradāya*. There are fifty *maṇḍalas* of these Vaiṣṇavas in the city of Cuttack alone—each having a band of *saṅkīrtana* attached to it. They are under the primacy of the great Gossāin of Caitanya at Puri. The Tantras prevail on the Jājapur tract".
