According to the
He is also said to be the udg膩t峁� of
king Janamejaya. 25 Various books are attributed to Jaimini e. g.
Samhita, Br膩hma峁嘺, Kalpas奴tra, M墨m膩峁僺膩 etc. These were
written by Jaimini himself or by his pupils is not certain."
In any case, it can not be denied that these works belonged to
the Samaveda, and particularly to the Jaiminiya Sakh膩. Vy膩sa
has cited the name of Jaimini as an authority in his Brahmasutra.
Two verses are found which clearly call Jaimini s奴tra-
k膩ra and propounder of thousand S膩kh膩s. Jaimini went to
see Bhisma lying on the bed of arrows 28.
Pur膩峁嘺s he was a pupil of Vy膩sa and in-charge of the Sama-
Samhita. He taught the Samaveda to his own son Sumantu 30.
Jaimini was also an authority on yoga鲁. In the Vayu-Pur膩峁嘺 he
is described as a follower of the Langala Sakha鲁2. But it is not
correct because he was the first propagator of the Samavedic
艢膩kh膩s, while Langali was a later authority. The name of
Jaimini occurs in Jaiminiya S奴tra K膩rik膩 (171 and 172). The
Atharvana Parisista is also aware of his name. The Mim膩峁僺膩
sutras are of course connected with his name. Reference to
Jaimini is seen in the Sankh膩yana G峁沨yas奴tra also,34
(1) The Jaiminiya 艢膩kh膩.
The literature of the Jaiminiyas is extant in its full form.
In the Jaiminiya Samhit膩 the number of verses is 1687 which is
182 less than the verses of the Kauthuma-Samhita.
