Verse 80

⁷⁴With those Yajus, by the hundred, the mighty one made fifteen branches, and those called of the Vajasani took them up: Kanva, Madhyandina and the rest. ⁷⁵Of Jaimini, singer of the Samans, there was a son, the sage Sumantu, and Sutvan was that one's son. To the two of them he spoke one gathering each. ⁷⁶And Sukarman, his pupil, a great man, made from the tree of the Sama Veda a thousandfold division of the gatherings of the Samans, twice-born one. ⁷⁷Hiranyanabha of Kosala and Pausyanji, two pupils of Sukarman, took them up; and another, Avantya, best of those who know Brahman. ⁷⁸The singers of the Samans in the north were five hundred pupils; and the pupils of Pausyanji and Avantya are also called the eastern ones.

⁷⁹Laugaksi, Mangali, Kulya, Kusida and Kuksi, pupils of Pausyanji, took up a hundred gatherings each. ⁸⁰Krta, the pupil of Hiranyanabha, spoke twenty-four gatherings to his own pupils; and Avantya, who had himself in hand, the rest.
