¹⁵⁸ This division of the Ath. S. into twenty books is attested for the period of the author of the *várttikas*, and also by the Gopatha-Bráhmaṇa i. 8; see *I. St.*, xiii. 433; whereas both the Ath. S. itself (19. 22, 23) and the Ath. Par. 48. 4-6 still contain the direct intimation that it formerly consisted of sixteen books only; see *I. St.*, iv. 432-434.
