He made 24 saṃhitās, and declared them to his disciples, Rāḍa, Gautama, Parāśara, &c. (names given); and they were the Kārta⁴ sāman chanters. Pauṣpiñji and Kṛta were the most famous of all sāman chanters. This statement about Hiraṇyanābha, Kṛta and his disciples is wrongly introduced here, for they belonged to a much earlier period (p. 173): it has been inserted in order to bring them into the scheme of Vedic schools derived from Vyāsa. - [Previous: c32.32](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c32.32) - [Next: c32.34](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c32.34) - [Up: c32](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c32) ## Cites (1) - [Viṣṇupurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c32.33](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c32.33) · Pramāṇa
