According to Shankara's commentary the terms 'sutra, vyakhyana,
anuvyakhyana, etc.' do not denote the commonly admitted names. A sutra is a
crisp expression in the Veda itself and vyakhyana is an explanation the
shruti itself gives.  Shankara has given examples from the Veda itself to
each of these entities in this list:

किं तन्निश्वसितमिव ततो जातमित्युच्यते — यदृग्वेदो यजुर्वेदः
सामवेदोऽथर्वाङ्गिरसः - चतुर्विधं मन्त्रजातम् , इतिहास इति, उर्वशीपुरूरवसोः
संवादादिः — ‘उर्वशी हाप्सराः’ (शत. ब्रा. ११ । ५ । १ । १) इत्यादि
ब्राह्मणमेव, पुराणम् — ‘असद्वा इदमग्र आसीत्’ (तै. उ. २ । ७ । १)
