Shakhas can be classified into two types

  1. compilations without any variations in mantras from the original structure of vedas
  2. compilations with some variations in mantras different from original structure of vedas[1]

According to MahaBhasya of Patanjali, there were 1131 Shakhas (21+101+1000+9) prevalent during his times.
