The Kanva Sakha : This Sakha has preserved both its Samhita and the Brahmana.
The Samhita and the Brahmana of the Kanvas are now available- The Kanva-Samhita contains 40 Adhyayas, 328 Anuvakas and 2086 verses. The Madhyandina-Samhita contains 1975 verses. Thus, the Kanva Samhita has 111 verses more than the Madhyandina-Samhita- The Brahmana of the Kanvas as well as of the Madhyandinas is called the 'Satapatha-Brahrnana. But there is some minor differences between the two Brahmanas. In the Kanva-Satapatha, there are 17 Kandas, 104 Adhyayas and 6806 Kandikas, The subject-matter of both the Brahmanas is same but the order is different. The Kalpasutra of Katyayana is prescribed for the followers of these Shakhas. According to Mahadeva, the commentator of the Hiranyakeshi sutra, Katyayana sutra was prescribed for both the schools.<ref name="gsrai11" />

Maharshi Veda Vyasa taught the Yajurveda to Vaishampayana who divided it into 86 shakhas and taught it to his pupils. So, Maharshi Vaishampayana is considered the original propogator of the Krishna Yajurveda Shakhas. He was also attributed with the name Charaka since his literary activities shifted from place to place. Thereby, his students were also known as Charakas and a separate shakha got attached to this name. But 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. However, according to the Puranas, the whole Krishna Yajurveda was called Taittiriya since the Yajus were collected by the pupils of Vaishampayana in the form of the bird Tittiri.<ref name=":13" />
