The Yajurveda has two branches ie. Krshna Yajurveda and Shukla Yajurveda. Of the various sub-branches of the Krshna Yajurveda, Sayanacharya commented upon the texts of his own shakha, the Taittiriya shakha. Similarly, the Shukla Yajurveda consists of two sub-branches, the Madhyandina and Kanva shakhas. Much before Sayanacharya, during the reign of Raja Bhoja, Acharya Uvvata had already written a commentary on the Madhyadina Samhita. Therefore, Sayanacharya chose to write a bhashya on the Kanva Samhita of the Shukla Yajurveda. However, his commentary is available only on the initial 20 adhyayas of the Samhita.

Anantacharya in his commentary on the later half of the Kanva Samhita as follows.
