    Anuvyā-khyāna is a species of writing referred to in the

    Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upaniṣad.1 Śaṅkara interprets it as ‘explana-

    tion of the Mantras.’ As the term, in the plural, follows

    Sūtras, this interpretation is reasonable. Sieg,2 however,

    equates the word with Anvākhyāna, ‘supplementary narrative.’ [Footnote] 1) ii. 4, 10; iv. 1, 2; 5, 11. [Footnote] 2) Die Sagenstoffe des Ṛgveda, 34.
