a branch or school or traditional
recension of the Vedas, (i. e. the Saṃhitā or collection
of Mantras and the Brāhmaṇas in each Veda as re-
ceived in conflicting schools, modified more or less
both in variations of the actual text and in difference
of arrangement, and even of interpretation
the
work शाखा or branch is sometimes used to dis-
tinguish the three original Vedas from each other,
as when it is said that ‘Sāma hymns ought not to
be recited in the neighbourhood of another Śākhā, ’
i. e. of the other two Vedas
but it properly
applies to the various recensions or editions of any
of the original Vedas handed down by different
Caraṇas, i. e. by different schools or sects, each ad-
hering to its own traditional text and interpretation:
in the Caraṇa-vyūha, a work by Śaunaka treating of
these various schools, five Śākhās are enumerated of
the Ṛg-veda, viz. those of the Śākalas, Bāṣkalas,
Āśvalāyanas, Śānkhāyanas, and Māṇḍukāyanas
forty-
two or forty-four out of eighty-six are mentioned of
the Yajur-veda, fifteen of which belong to the Vāja-
saneyins, including those of the Kāṇvas and Mādh-
yandinas
twelve out of a thousand said to have once
existed of the Sāma-veda and nine of the Atharva-
veda
of all these, however, the Ṛg-veda is said to
be now extant in one only, viz. the Śākala-śākhā,
the Yajur-veda in three and partially in four, the
Sāma-veda in one or perhaps two, and the Atharva-
veda in one: although the words चरण and शाखा
are sometimes used synonymously, yet चरण pro-
perly applies to the sect or collection of persons united
in one school, and शाखा to the traditional text
followed, as in the phrase शाखाम् अधीते, he reads
a particular recension of the Veda)
any part of an
animal devoid of sensibility (as a horn &c.)
= अन्-
तिक (according to Śabda-k.)

पुराणम्
English
शाख / ŚĀKHA. According to one view śākha was the younger brother of subrahmaṇya while there are others who maintain that he was Subrahmaṇya's son. In verse 37, Chapter 44 of śalya Parva it is stated that śākha was the son of the vasu Anala and the younger brother of subrahmaṇya and that he had two brothers called vaiśākha and naigameya. It is stated in Chapter 15, part 1 of viṣṇu purāṇa as follows:- “Āpa, dhruva, soma, dharma, anila, agni, pratyūṣa and prabhāsa are the aṣṭavasus. vaitaṇḍa, śrama, śānta, and dhvani were sons of āpa. kāla, who annihilates the entire world is the son of dhruva and Varccas is Soma's son. Varccas gives people the vital glow. Draviṇa, Hutahavyavaha, Śiśvara, prāṇa and varuṇa were the sons of dharma by manoharā. Anila's wife was śivā, and two sons, manojava and Avijñatagati were born to the couple. kumāra, son of agni was born in śarastamba and he had three brothers called śākha, viśākha and naigameya.”
The following story about the birth of śākha is from Taraṅga 6, Lāvāṇakalambaka of kathāsaritsāgara: Defeated in battle by tārakāsura, indra decided to have no more fight with him and retired to Mount mahāmeru. devas and maharṣis sought asylum with subrahmaṇya, who gave them protection. indra came to know of it and fought with subrahmaṇya feeling that the latter had captured his kingdom. Two sons, śākha and viśākha were born from the face of subrahmaṇya wounded by the vajrāyudha of indra.
