Agnivesya-Sruti & Kaundinya-Sruti

Agnivesya and Kaundinya, the progenitors of the recensions bearing their names, are said to have been disciples of Vadhula, which is a full-fledged sakha now found in Kerala. The Ananda Samhita--a Vaikhanasa text, clearly mentions the Kalpas of these two sakhas. The Tantravarttika of Kumarila Bhatta (1.3.11) also mentions the Kaundinya Kalpa. The Pravaramanjari of Purusottama also quotes the Kaundinya Srautasutra30 (pp. 237-238).
