The usage of word Upadhyaya in Shatapatha Brahmana (10.42.36) is to mean 'instructors/coach' (to the wrestlers). So, Upadhyaya possibly could teach [[64 Kalas (चतुःषष्टिः कलाः)|64 kalas]]. Wrestling is one of them. In the same text the term is used in the sense of priest, a teacher, an instructor and a spiritual master in various places (4.29.56, 6.7.32, 10.66.27-28, 10.71.23, 10.83.20).<ref name=":2">Prof. J.

We can relate this aspect to the present day where the term Upadhyaya refers to teachers who teach different sections of the study material. One may infer that an Upadhyaya teaches part of the study course whereas a Guru influences the student in the long term and directs him in many ways.
