See also: Of the Brahmanas that were handed down in the schools of the Bahvṛcas (i.e. 'possessed of many verses'), as the followers of the Rigveda are called, two have come down to us, namely those of the Aitareyins and the Kaushitakins. The and the evidently have for their groundwork the same stock of traditional exegetic matter. They differ, however, considerably as regards both the arrangement of this matter and their stylistic handling of it, with the exception of the numerous legends common to both, in which the discrepancy is comparatively slight. There is also a certain amount of material peculiar to each of them.
