=== क्षुरः ॥ Kshura ===
 +
Sayanacharya, at many instances in his Madhaviya Dhatuvrtti, has mentioned Acharya Kshura which indicates that Acharya Kshura surely wrote a commentary on the Taittiriya Samhita. One such instance is as follows:
 +
 +
यथा त्रय एनां महिमानं सचंते (तै.सं.४-३-११) इत्यत्र क्षुरभट्टभास्करीययोः सचंते समंते इति ।
 +
 +
Here, the names of Acharya Kshura and Bhatta Bhaskara (also a commentator on the Taittiriya Samhita) are mentioned alongside each other.
 +
 +
=== भट्टभास्करः ॥ Bhatta Bhaskara ===
 +
Referred to by Sayanacharya in his works, Bhatta Bhaskara preceeds Sayanacharya in antiquity. Vedacharya in his work titled 'Sudarshana Mimamsa' not only mentions Bhatta Bhaskara Mishra by name but also mentions his commentary named Jnanayajna. Haradatta, in his commentary on the Ekagnikanda, has taken references from Bhatta Bhaskara's commentary. The antiquity of Bhatta Bhaskara is also suggested by the fact that the authors and texts like Aryabhatiya, Amarakosha and Kashika mentioned by him are themselves ancient.

 +
As mentioned, the commentary by Bhata Bhaskara on the Taittiriya Samhita is known as Jnanayajna and is extremely scholarly. In the semantic pursuit of mantras, at places, Bhatta Bhaskara brings out the meanings quoted by different acharyas. He not only gives meanings from the point of view of Yajnas, but also provides meanings of the Veda mantras in the context of Adhyatma (spirituality) and Adhidaiva (divinity). For example: In the famous mantra हंसः शुचिषद् वसुरन्तरिक्षषद् ।, the meaning of the word hamsa is explained in threefold ways.
 +
 +
# In the Adhiyajna context, it means 'ratha' (हन्ति पृथिवीमिति हंसः ।)
 +
# In the Adhidaiva context, it means 'aditya'
 +
# In the Adhyatma context, it is atma
 +
 +
In this way the other mantras have also been semantically explored and due to such specialities, it holds an important position in Vaidik Sahitya.<ref>Baldev Upadhyay (1955), [https://ia801607.us.archive.org/10/items/in.ernet.dli.2015.347181/2015.347181.Vaidik-Sahitya.pdf Vaidik Sahitya], Kashi</ref>
