They lived before Vyāsa, but when Sukarman Jaimini taught Pauṣyañji the Sāmaveda, Pauṣyañji taught his disciples 500 (sic) saṃhitās of sāmans, and they were known as the ‘northern sāman chanters’. Then notice had to be taken of the older ‘eastern sāman chanters’, and they had to be brought into the Vedic schools, so Hiraṇyanābha was assigned as a second disciple to Sukarman,¹ and is said to have constructed 500 saṃhitās also.² This erroneous harmonizing was added to the Ayodhyā genealogy, and it is there stated³ that Hiraṇyanābha was the disciple of Jaimini’s grandson (Brahmāṇḍa says, Pauṣyañji) in the eastern sāmans, learnt 500 saṃhitās from him and also taught a Yājñavalkya yoga. - [Previous: c19.64](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c19.64) - [Next: c19.66](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c19.66) - [Up: c19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c19) ## Linked texts (4) - [Bhāgavatapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.bhagavata.9.12.3) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Viṣṇupurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.4.4) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Brahmāṇḍapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.brahmanda) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Vāyupurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.vayu) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c19.65](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c19.65) · Pramāṇa
