The Madhyandina shakha is known to have presence in Northern India.
=== काण्वसंहिता ॥ ===
=== काण्वसंहिता ॥ Kanva Samhita ===
In the recent times, the Kanva Shakha is known to be prevalent in the region of Maharashtra. However, in the ancient times, Northern India seems to be the region of the Kanva shakha considering that the samhita mentions a Kuru and Panchala Raja.
एष वः कुरवो राजा, एष पञ्चालो राजा ।
Also, according to the Mahabharata (Adi Parva), the hermitage of Kanva Muni (the foster father of Shakuntala) was situated on the banks of the river Malini that is identified with the river Malan in Uttar Pradesh. Therefore, it is believed that the Kanvas were indeed connected to Northern India.
The Kanva Samhita consists 40 adhyayas, 328 anuvakas and 2086 mantras that is 111 more than the ones in the Madhyandina Samhita.
Ths Kanva shakha is known to be related to the Pancharatra Agamas, especially the Pancharatra Samhitas.<ref name=":0" />
