¹⁵⁴ Edited in *I. St.*, iii. 247–283 (1854); see also Müller, *A. S. L.*, p. 368, ff., and Rájendra Lála Mitra in the preface to his translation of the Chhándogyopanishad, p. 3. The enumerations of the Vedic schools in the Vishṇu-Puráṇa, iii. 4, and especially in the Váyu-Puráṇa, chap. lx. (see Aufrecnt's *Catalogus*, p. 54, ff.), contain by far richer material. If all these schools actually existed—but there is certainly a great deal of mere error and embellishment in these statements—then, in truth, lamentably little has been left to us!
