Kānvaśākhā
From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia
By Swami Harshananda
The Śukla Yajurveda has two śākhās or recensions. They are:
- Kānvaśākhā - It has 17 kāṇḍas.
- Mādhyandinaśākhā - It has 14 kāṇḍas.
There is not much difference between these two recensions. The Śatapatha Brāhmana has two śākhās of the same name. The Bṛhadāranyaka Upaniṣad is also found in both the recensions.
