“It is held that the ancient Rishis or saints, like⟳ the Jewish patriarchs, lived far beyond the ordinary span of existence, and hence had time to learn⟳ all the Vedas and their commentaries. But this was impossible for their short-lived descendants, and hence each Veda has been divided into a number⟳ of Shākhas or branches, and the ordinary Brāhman only learns one Shākha of one Veda.”
