If we ^ere in possession of the Van6as of the Bahvrichas and the ancient Adhvar- yus, we might perhaps see more clearly. But it is important to observe that these two, which are deci- dedly the two most ancient Vedas, seem to have had no Yan^as at all. However this may be explained hereafter, certain it is, — and these long lists of names teach at least this one thing, — that the Brahmans them- selves looked upon the Br&hmana period as a long continued succession of teachers, reaching from the time when these lists were made and recited to the • most distant antiquity, back to the very dynasties of their gods. If, therefore, we limit the age of the Br&hmanas to the two centuries from 600 to 800 b. c, it is more likely that hereafter these limits will have to be extended than that they will prove too wide. There is one work which ought to be mentioned before we leave the BrUhmana period, the Gopatha* br&hmana. It is the Br&hmana of the Brahma-veda, the Veda of the Atharv&ngiras' or Bhrigu-Angiras'. This Veda does not properly belong to the sacred literature of the Brahmans, and though in later times it obtained the title of the fourth Veda, there was originally a broad distinction between the magic formulas of the Atharv&ngiras' and the hymns of the Bahvrichas, the Chhandogas, and the Adhvaryus. Madhusiidana states the case simply and clearly. ^* The Veda," he says, " is divided into Rich, Yajush and Sd,man for the purpose of carrying out the sacri- fice under its three diflPerent forms. The duties of the Hotri priests are performed with the Rig-veda, those of the Adhvaryu priests with the Yajur-veda, those of the Udgatri priests with the Sima-vcda.
