In the Śrauta Sūtras² the name of Śāṅkhāyana never occurs, but the Gṛhya Sūtras³ seem to recognize as a teacher Suyajña Śāṅkhāyana. In later times⁴ the school flourished in Northern Gujarat. Śāṅkhāyana appears in the Taittirīya Prātiśākhya⁵ along with Kāṇḍamāyana. - [Previous: v2.c4.s8.387](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s8.387) - [Next: v2.c4.s8.389](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s8.389) - [Up: v2.c4.s8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s8) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s8.388](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s8.388) · Pramāṇa
