As per Vaishnavite literature and Satra records, it has 31 Kirtans and 226 verses (ghosas). However SCERT Class 9 Assam History Page 67 mentions 27 main Kirtans - because 4 Kirtans were added by disciples after Sankardev's death. So if ADRE asks "How many Kirtans" - answer 31. If asks "How many main Kirtans as per SCERT" - answer 27. Both are correct depending on question wording. Madhavdev wrote Nam Ghosha (1000 ghosas). Both books kept in every Namghar. ADRE 2.0 Grade 4 Shift-1 asked "Kirtan Ghosha has how many Kirtans?" Official answer key said 31.
Assamese: কীৰ্তন ঘোষাত মুঠ ৩১ টা কীৰ্তন (২৭ টা মূল + ৪ টা পিছত যোগ) আৰু ২২৬ টা ঘোষা আছে। SCERT ত ২৭ টা বুলি লিখা আছে। পৰীক্ষাত ৩১ টা শুদ্ধ।
