Note on Vedic shAkhAs

[Ravi]

One possible basis for the veda assigned to the maTha may be the vedic
shAkA of the AchArya assigned to the mAtha. My guess may be wrong. As
an aside for the new comers to the list, AmnAya stotram posted on the
list sometime back has a wealth of information of the four AmnAya
maTha-s.
