====कृष्णयजुर्वेदः ॥ Krishna Yajurveda====
The Yajurveda was taught by Vyasa to one of his pupils named Vaishampayana who divided it into 86 shakhas and taught it to his pupils. So, Vaishampayana is said to be the original propogator of the shakhas of the Krishna Yajurveda.<ref name=":13" /> The name Charaka seems to be attributed to Vaishampayana on the basis of his literary activities shifting from place to place. Hence, his students were also known as Charakas and a separate shakha is also attached to this name. However, it is not clear if all the references mention a particular shakha by the name Charaka or all the shakhas of the Krishna Yajurveda are called by the name Charaka.<ref name=":13" /> However, according to the Puranas, the whole Krishna Yajurveda was called Taittiriya. Yajnavalkya vomited the Yajus taught by Vaishampayana and all these Yajus were collected by his other pupils. Since at the time of collecting these Yajus, the pupils took the form of the bird Tittiri, they were called as Taittiriyas.<ref name=":13" />
