“The pupil of Śaunaka was the Reverend Âśvalâyana. He, having learned from Śaunaka all sacred knowledge, made also a Sûtra and taught it, thinking it would improve the understanding and please Śaunaka. Then, in order to please his pupil, Śaunaka destroyed his own Sûtra¹, which consisted of a thousand parts and was more like a Brâhmaṇa. ‘This Sûtra,’ he said, ‘which Âśvalâyana has made and taught, shall be the Sûtra for this Veda.’”
