The origin of the Vedas and the lineage of Gurus is given below:

Origin of the Vedas.

At the time of creation the Veda was born from the face of God. It contained a lakh of granthas with four 辫腻诲补蝉 like 峁歬. From the Veda were born the ten 测补箩帽补蝉. The Veda was originally one. It was 痴测腻蝉补 who divided it into four divisions resulting in the four Vedas.

痴测腻蝉补 divided the Vedas thus: When 叠谤补丑尘腻 commanded 痴测腻蝉补 to divide the Vedas into divisions he first selected four disciples who could see the end of the Vedas. He accepted Paila to study 峁欢惫别诲补, 痴补颈艣补峁僷腻测补苍补 to study Yajurveda, Jaimini to study S膩maveda and Sumantu to study Atharvaveda. Besides these he selected the highly intelligent 搁辞尘补丑补谤峁�a峁嘺 alias 厂奴迟补 to study the 滨迟颈丑腻蝉补蝉 and 笔耻谤腻峁嘺蝉.

At first, the Veda was one. 痴测腻蝉补 divided it into four. He based the division on the 肠腻迟耻谤丑辞迟谤补, performance of four 丑辞迟峁泂. He arranged the performance of Adhvaryu as Yajus, that of 丑辞迟峁� as 峁歬s, that of 鲍诲驳腻迟峁� as 厂腻尘补苍蝉 and that of 叠谤补丑尘腻 as Atharvans. Then he separated the 峁歬s to form 峁欢惫别诲补, Yajus to form Yajurveda and 厂腻尘补苍蝉 to form S膩maveda. He devoted Atharvaveda to specify the rites and duties of Kings and the deeds of 叠谤补丑尘腻. 痴别诲补惫测腻蝉补 thus split the single Veda tree into four and from there arose later a forest of Veda trees.

The saints of 峁欢惫别诲补.

Paila divided 峁欢惫别诲补 into two 蝉补峁僪颈迟腻蝉 and gave one each to Indrapramati and 叠腻峁�k补濒补. Sage 叠腻峁�k补濒补 divided his 厂补峁僪颈迟腻 again into four and taught it to four of his disciples, Bodhi, 膧dim膩岣峢ava, 驰腻箩帽补惫补濒办测补 and 笔补谤腻艣补谤补. Indrapramati without splitting his sa峁僪it膩 taught it to his renowned son, 惭腻峁囜笉奴办别测补. The branch of Indrapramati thus went down into circulation through the disciples of 惭腻峁囜笉奴办别测补 and the disciples of the disciples and so on. Vedamitra of 艢腻办补濒测补 gotra, one sage in the line of the disciples of 惭腻峁囜笉奴办别测补, split the sa峁僪it膩 into five, and taught it to Mudgala, Gomukha, 痴腻迟蝉测补, 艢腻濒墨测补 and 艢补谤墨谤补. 艢腻办补辫奴谤峁嘺 a colleague of Vedamitra divided it into three and added a division to it by composing a Nirukta of his own. He taught them to 痴补颈迟腻濒颈办补, 叠补濒腻办补 and 碍谤补耻帽肠补. This was how the Indrapramati 厂补峁僪颈迟腻 produced branches and sub-branches. 叠腻峁�k补濒补 divided his sa峁僪it膩 into another set of three and taught it to 碍腻濒腻测补苍颈, 骋腻谤驳测补, and Kath膩java. The sages mentioned above are the ones who spread 峁欢惫别诲补 in the world.

Saints of Yajurveda.

痴补颈艣补尘辫腻测补苍补, disciple of Veda 痴测腻蝉补, made twentyseven divisions of Yajurveda and taught them to his disciples. Among those disciples was 驰腻箩帽补惫补濒办测补, son of 叠谤补丑尘补谤腻迟补. The branch 罢补颈迟迟颈谤墨测补 originated from 驰腻箩帽补惫补濒办测补.

The 罢补颈迟迟颈谤墨测补 branch.

Once all the sages learned in the Vedas made a decision. He who does not attend the Brahmasam膩ja meeting held at the mountain of 惭补丑腻尘别谤耻 will be tainted with the sin of Brahmahaty膩 (murder of a brahmin). At one time 痴补颈艣补尘辫腻测补苍补 was not able to attend and so was charged with the sin of Brahmahaty膩. He called his disciples to his side and told them that they should observe a Vrata to absolve 痴补颈艣补尘辫腻测补苍补 of his sin. Then one of his disciples, 驰腻箩帽补惫补濒办测补, stood up and said that he would observe the vrata alone and that there was no need of anybody else in that matter. When asked why he said so he replied that none of the colleagues of his was so brilliant and majestic as he was. 痴补颈艣补尘辫腻测补苍补 did not like this arrogance of 驰腻箩帽补惫补濒办测补 and so angrily commanded 驰腻箩帽补惫补濒办测补 to give back all that had been taught to him by 痴补颈艣补尘辫腻测补苍补. Obeying orders 驰腻箩帽补惫补濒办测补 vomited all the yajus and went away from the place. The other sages taking the form of the bird, Tittiri, accepted the vomited yajus. Therefore that branch of the Veda got the name of 罢补颈迟迟颈谤墨测补 and those sages were known as the 罢补颈迟迟颈谤墨测补s.

础测腻迟补测腻尘补(蝉).

On his leaving 痴补颈艣补尘辫腻测补苍补 驰腻箩帽补惫补濒办测补 put into operation a new set of Yajus called Ay膩tay膩ma unknown even to 痴补颈艣补尘辫腻测补苍补. This was how it happened. 驰腻箩帽补惫补濒办测补 after leaving the Brahmasam膩ja went and did penance to propitiate the Sun-god. The Sun appeared before him in the form of a horse. 驰腻箩帽补惫补濒办测补 then requested him to grant him new yajus unknown even to 痴补颈艣补尘辫腻测补苍补. The Sun then remaining in the shape of the horse (痴腻箩颈) itself imparted to him instructions on a new set of Yajus called Ay膩tay膩ma which were not known to anybody else, even to 痴补颈艣补尘辫腻测补苍补. Those who studied it were called 痴腻箩颈s. There are fifteen branches of the 痴腻箩颈s, K膩nnu being one of them. All were put into operation by 驰腻箩帽补惫补濒办测补.

The Sanny膩sins of S膩maveda.

痴别诲补惫测腻蝉补 taught S膩maveda to Jaimini. Jaimini had a son, Sumantu, and he in turn had a son named Sutva. Sumantu and Sutva were very intelligent and they studied one branch each of the Vedas. Sutva had a son, 厂耻办补谤尘腻, and he divided S膩mavedasa峁僪it膩 into a thousand branches. 厂耻办补谤尘腻 had two disciples: 贬颈谤补峁噛补苍腻产丑补 and Pau峁�pi帽ji, and both of them studied all the thousand divisions of the S膩maveda. The five hundred disciples of 贬颈谤补峁噛补苍腻产丑补 who came from the north and studied S膩maveda were called Ud墨cya S膩magas (those come from the north). Another five hundred came from the east and studied S膩mavedasa峁僪it膩 from 贬颈谤补峁噛补苍腻产丑补 and they were called 笔谤腻肠测补 蝉腻尘补驳补蝉. (贬颈谤补峁噛补苍腻产丑补 is known as 碍补耻艣补濒测补 also.) Pau峁�pi帽ji had four disciples: Log膩k峁�i, Kauthumi, Kak峁Ｄ玽膩n and 尝腻峁単补濒颈. These four and their disciples split their 蝉补峁僪颈迟腻蝉 and increased them. 碍峁泃颈, one of the disciples of 贬颈谤补峁噛补苍腻产丑补, taught his disciples twentyfour 蝉补峁僪颈迟腻蝉. They also split them into many more and made the S膩maveda bigger.

The saints of Atharvaveda.

痴测腻蝉补 taught Atharvaveda to Sumantu. Sage Sumantu taught it to his disciple Kabandha first. Kabandha split it into two and gave one each to his disciples: Dev膩dar艣a and Pathya. Deva had four disc墨ples: 惭别诲丑腻 Brahmabali, 艢膩ntak膩yani and 笔颈辫辫补濒腻诲补. Pathya had three: 闯腻产腻濒颈, Kumuda and 艢补耻苍补办补. All these made 蝉补峁僪颈迟腻蝉. 艢补耻苍补办补 split his sa峁僪it膩 into two and taught one to Badru and another to Saindhava. 惭耻帽箩颈办别艣补 learnt it from Saindhava. He split it into two first and then again into three. The five 艣a峁僪it膩s of 惭耻帽箩颈办别艣补 namely, 狈补办峁�a迟谤补办补濒辫补, Vedakalpa, 厂补峁僪颈迟腻kalpa, 膧峁単irasakalpa and 艢腻苍迟颈办补濒辫补 are the most important divisions of the Atharvaveda. The 狈补办峁�a迟谤补办补濒辫补 contains methods of worshipping 狈补办峁�a迟谤补蝉; the Vedakalpa contains the rites of the 峁歵惫颈办 叠谤补丑尘腻, and the 厂补峁僪颈迟腻kalpa contains the science of the care of horses and elephants.

笔耻谤腻峁嘺蝉.

痴测腻蝉补 compiled a 笔耻谤腻峁嘺 sa峁僪it膩 using speeches, appendices, poems and Kalpanir峁嘺yas and taught it to 搁辞尘补丑补谤峁�a峁嘺 alias 厂奴迟补. 厂奴迟补 had six disciples named Sumati, Agnivarcas, 惭颈迟谤腻测耻蝉, S膩峁兣沘p膩yana, 础办峁泃补惫谤补峁嘺, and 厂腻惫补谤峁噄. 础办峁泃补惫谤补峁嘺, 厂腻惫补谤峁噄 and 艢腻峁兣沘辫腻测补苍补 born of Ka艣yapagotra have themselves made 笔耻谤腻峁嘺蝉a峁僪it膩s. There is another sa峁僪it膩 composed by 搁辞尘补丑补谤峁�a峁嘺 based on the sa峁僪墨t膩s made by the above three.

痴颈峁ａ箛耻 笔耻谤腻峁嘺 is based on the latter four 蝉补峁僪颈迟腻蝉. There are eighteen 笔耻谤腻峁嘺蝉, namely, 膧驳苍别测补, 叠谤腻丑尘补, 叠谤补丑尘腻峁囜笉a, Brahmavaivarta, 叠丑腻驳补惫补迟补, Bhavi峁�ya, 骋补谤耻岣峚, 碍奴谤尘补, 尝颈峁単补, 惭腻谤办补峁囜笉别测补, Matsya, N膩rad墨ya, Padma, 艢颈惫补, Skanda, 痴腻尘补苍补, 痴补谤腻丑补 and 痴颈峁ａ箛耻. There are eighteen sub 笔耻谤腻峁嘺蝉 also. In all these are described the creation, the deluge, the dynasties of the devas, history of kingly dynasties, changes of generations etc. (础峁兣沘 3, 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 笔耻谤腻峁嘺; 12th Skandha, 叠丑腻驳补惫补迟补).
