The number of Yajurveda shakas is given variously by different rishis and scholars as 101 shakas (recensions)<ref name=":223" /> 107 according to Sutasamhita, Skanda and Brahmanda Puranas, 109 according to Muktikopanishad, 100 according to Pathanjali in his Mahabhasyam, 86 according to Charanavyuha and Shaunaka. According to Vayu Purana, there were 86 student lineages and thus 86 shakas of Maharshi Vaisampayana.<ref name=":13" /> Vishnupurana and Agnipurana give a number of 27 shakas of Yajurveda.<ref name=":0223" />Thus quite some variation is seen in the number of shakas that existed for Yajurveda.
