Sacchrotriya (सच्छ्रोत्रिय) refers to “good Vedic scholars”, who seclude themselves from the company (saṃsarga) of wicked people (durvṛtta), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.1.17. Accordingly, as Guṇanidhi, who was addicted to gambling (dyūta), was told by his mother as follows:—“[...] Your [viz., Guṇanidhi’s] ancestors and grandfathers (pitāmaha) had all earned the reputation (rūḍhi) of being good Vedic scholars (Sacchrotriya), well learned in Śāstras (Anūcāna), and performers of sacrifices (Dīkṣita), especially Somayāgas. Shun the company (saṃsarga) of the wicked people (durvṛtta), associate with good men (sādhusaṅgara), turn your attention to good learning (sadvidyā) and strictly adhere to Brahminical conventions (brāhmaṇācāra). Emulate your father in form (rūpa), fame (yaśas) and traditional activity (kulaśīla). Why don’t you feel ashamed? Cast off your wickedness (durvṛtta)”.
