*OTHER VEDIC SCHOOLS*—Pāṇini also mentions by name certain other Vedic Schools, whose exact affiliations are not konwn, *e.g.* Taitila-Kadrū in *sūtra* VI.2.42 contains an allusion to the students of *āchārya* Titilin, also mentioned by Kātyāyana in the aforesaid *vārttika* to VI.4.144 (*Kāśikā*, *Taitili-Jājalināvāchāryau, tatkṛito grantha upachārāt Taitili-Jājali-śabdābhyām abhidhīyate, taṁ grantham adhīyate Taitilāḥ, Jājalāḥ*). Patañjali mentions Krauḍāḥ and Kāṅkatāḥ as names of Schools (IV.2.66; II.286), of which the former appear to be students of Krauḍi mentioned in the *Krauḍyādi-gaṇa* (IV.1.80). The *Kāṅkata Brāhmaṇa* is referred to in the *Āpastamba Śrauta-sūtra* (XIV.20.4) along with other unknown texts (Keith, *J.R.A.S.*, 1915, p. 498). The Schools of Karmanda and Kṛiśāśva which are known only from Pāṇini (IV.3.111), and those of Kāśyapa and Kauśika (IV.3.103) were confined to their *sūtra* works only, showing to what extent specialisation under the Vedic *Caraṇas* had advanced. The Kauśikas belonged to the *Atharvaveda*, but the affiliations of the other three are not known.
