อีกทั้งยังจำแนกแยกกันไปตามหมวดทั่วไป เช่น พิธีอภิจาร (abhicāra) อันเป็นการขจัด/สะกดอิทธิฤทธิ์เป็นต้น ฤคเวทกล่าวว่ามี ๒๑ สาขา; ยชุรเวทมี ๑๐๙ สาขา; สามเวทมี ๑,๐๐๐ สาขา; และอถรรพเวทมี ๕ สาขา ในสำนักนั้น ทัศนะไวขานสะ (Vaikhānasa) ในเบื้องต้นเป็นการเห็นโดยตรง และเหล่ามุนีย่อมระลึกอยู่เสมอ—ทัศนะไวขานสะเป็นยอดยิ่ง กัลปะ ไวยากรณ์ ศิกษา นิรุกตะ โชติษะ และฉันท์—เหล่านี้คือเวทางค์หกประการ; และอุปางค์ยังนับรวม อายนะ (แนวทางการศึกษาพระเวท) มีมางสา และนยายะอันพิสดาร อีกทั้งคัมภีร์ที่เกื้อกูลประโยชน์แก่ผู้รู้ธรรม และ “เวทแห่งเวท” คือคัมภีร์ประกอบ; นิพนธ์สรุป สาขาทั้งปวง และความสอดคล้องแห่งจารีตประเพณี ธรรมศาสตร์เป็นคำสอนที่มหาฤษีรจนาจากภายในจิต และอุปางค์ที่ชื่ออิติหาสะกับปุราณะก็ประกาศไว้ด้วย โอ้มุนี วาสตุเวท ธนุรเวท คานธรรพะ และอายุรเวท—ทั้งห้านี้เรียกว่าอุปเวท ส่วนทัณฑะ (อาญา/กฎหมาย) นีติ (รัฐศาสตร์) วารตา (เศรษฐกิจ-เกษตร-พาณิชย์) วิทยา (ความรู้) และวายุชัย (ชัยเหนือปราณ/ลม) —ทั้งหมดนี้กล่าวว่าเป็นวิชาสว่างด้วยตน ๒๑ ประการ
Likewise, they are distinguished separately according to the general category of (rites such as) exorcistic/abhicāra practices. The Ṛgveda is said to have twenty-one branches; the Yajus has one hundred and nine branches; the Sāman would have a thousand branches; the Atharvan has five branches. In that (tradition) the Vaikhānasa view is, at the beginning, a direct perception; it is remembered by sages always—the Vaikhānasa view is supreme. Kalpa, Vyākaraṇa, Śikṣā, Nirukta, Jyotiṣa, and Chandas—these are the six limbs (vedāṅgas); and as subsidiary limbs (upāṅgas) are also reckoned: (the study of) the Veda’s ‘course’ (ayana), Mīmāṃsā, and the extensive Nyāya. Also (there are) works serving the aims of knowers of dharma, and further the ‘Veda of the Veda’ (i.e., ancillary treatises); compendia, all branches, and the concordance of customary conduct. The Dharmaśāstra is the inwardly composed (teaching) of the great seers. The subsidiary limb called Itihāsa and Purāṇa is also proclaimed. O sage, Vāstu-veda, Dhanur-veda, Gāndharva, and Āyur-veda—these five are proclaimed as the upavedas. Punishment/jurisprudence (daṇḍa), polity (nīti), commerce/agriculture (vārttā), learning (vidyā), and the supreme conquest of wind (vāyu-jaya)—this is proclaimed as a twenty-onefold self-luminous (body of knowledge).
