Similarly, the growth of Astronomy is far less indebted to the Vedic Schools. Its existence as an Aṅga of the Veda is to be traced only in the small treatise entitled *Jyotisha*, of which, as Bühler states, two slightly different recensions are extant, one belonging to the Rigveda and the other to the Yajurveda. All the famous works on the subject like the Gārgī Saṁhitā or the later Vāsiśhṭha Saṁhitā and Siddhānta show no connection with the Veda or Vedic schools except that their authorship is attributed to Ṛishis or descendants of the families of Ṛishis.
