Answers
Answer:
The Brāhmans of Southern India are divided into a number of sections, differing in language, manners and customs. As regards their origin, the current belief is that they sprang from the mouth of Brahma. In support thereof, the following verse from the Purusha Sūktha (hymn of the primaeval male) of the Rig Veda is quoted : From the face of Prajāpathi (Viratpurusha) came the Brāhmans ; from the arms arose the Kshatriyas ; from the thighs sprang the Vaisyas ; and from the feet the Sūdras. Mention of the fourfold division of the Hindu castes is also made in other Vedas, and in Ithihāsas and Purānas.
The Brāhmans fall into three groups, following the three Vedas or Sākas, Rig, Yajus, and Sāmam. This threefold division is, however, recognised only for ceremonial purposes. For marriage and social purposes, the divisions based on language and locality are practically more operative. In the matter of the more important religious rites, the Brāhmans of Southern India, as elsewhere, closely follow their own Vedas. Every Brāhman belongs to one or other of the numerous gotras [S. 268] mentioned in Pravara and Gotra Kandams. All the religious rites are performed according to the Grihya Sūtras (ritual books) pertaining to their Sāka or Veda. Of these, there are eight kinds now in vogue, viz. :
Asvalayana Sūtra of the Rig Veda.
Āpasthamba Sūtra of the black Yajus.
Bhāradwaja Sūtra of the black Yajus.
Bhodayana Sūtra of the black Yajus.
Sathyāshāda Sūtra of the black Yajus.
Vaikkānasa Sūtra of the black Yajus.
Kāthyayana Sūtra of the white Yajus.
Drahyayana Sūtra of Sāma Veda.
