In the department of Śāstras there were seven professors to teach seven different subjects, such as Vedānta, Vyākaraṇa, Rūpāvatāra, Śrī-Bhārata, Rāmāyaṇa, Manu-śāstra, and Vaikhānasa-śāstra. The number of students of the college is also given. The Ṛg-veda claimed sixty, the Yajur-veda sixty, the Chāndogasāman twenty, and the other Śāstras together fifty, thus bringing the total number of students to 190.
