*VEDIC ŚĀKHĀS*—The *Śākhās* or different recensions, as we have seen, formed the basis upon which the *Charaṇas* or Vedic Schools were based. They were known also as *Chhandas* texts and as *Āmnāya* (*Bhāshya*, II.319, *Charaṇād dharmāmnāyayoḥ*). The *Brāhmaṇa* works in addition to the *Chhandas* works formed the principal subjects of study in a Vedic *Charaṇa* or School as stated in the *sūtra*, *Chhando-Brāhmaṇāni cha tad-vishayāṇi*, (IV.2.66).
