Political orientation is something that rises from deep within; as we have noted before, it has a biological basis. There might be some truth to its relationship with polymorphism in odorant receptors. There is something like reaching your "preferred station" -- an equilibrium
Some people reach that point early in life (that was my case). However, due to environment, others might not immediately do so.The journey to the fixed point might be a gradual spiral or through chaotic fluctuations. Many go through chaos in the 20s/30s but in small number it may
take them till their 50s to get to their home. Yet they all converge. Because of chaos in the 20s/30s that several experience, their friends/fellow travelers might express regret or frustration over their "sudden change". In reality, they are simply finding their home. A careful
observation on this SM can, however usually reveal a person's true home even if they are fluctuating through a range of outward expressions. A student of H politics interested in making predictions regarding H future performance should make note of this. So far things are keeping
with the historical trajectory of the H. However, this is often hard to discern at the micro-level for the movement towards ones political fixed point is idiosyncratic, often accelerated by life experiences with the non-self.

To put it politely early bauddha tantra-s incorporated material from H tantra-s which have been lost. For example, the ma~njushrIya mUlakalpa has the short mantra-s of the chaturbhaginI & mentions tumburu of the vAmasrotas. They are worshipped in a boat in the midst of the ocean
the chaturbhaginI & tumburu are also incorporated into the related bauddha text, the tArA mUlakalpa. The ma~njushrIya tradition has a kaumAra mantra keeping with the deity being called kumAra-bhUta or kArttikeya-ma~njushrI:

There are two separate issues: 1. mode of recitation; 2. divergence between shAkhA. Regarding the 1st, I know some people have special views & get hot like wood being drilled on hearing this; so don't @ me. However, posting my view here since more than one person asked in the
past few days. Yes, there are regional peculiarities of recitations & substratal effects (particularly strong in some kali~Nga traditions). However, I don't think these are serious differences. Looking at the totality of the surviving traditions it may be said, broadly there was
1 ancestral recitational mode that has 2 variants: 1. where every long svarita was duplicated (RV, SYV-K, AV); 2. where only those before consonants & sentence ends were (KYVs). This type (probably both modes) go back to when the Aryans 1st conquered India& probably stemmed

It is true that the kR^iShNayajurveda schools died out in their K-P heartland. There is not objective evidence that this happened due to the shu~Nga-s or kANva-s. We have insufficient inscriptions to give a precise answer. However, where we have more inscriptions we get an idea
of the dynamic. Once taittirIyaka-s were seen in va~Nga, kali~Nga & nepAla; however, now they are pratically extinct except for recent immigrants. They have greatly declined in lATAnarta & vidarbha. The charaka-s were likewise in va~Nga & kaTha-s possibly in prAgjyotiSha. But
those are completely extinct. Instead, only shAkhA that survives is madhyaMdina or kANva (kali~Nga). The model in those regions was an aggressive spread of vAjasaneya-s which might even go back to the early period when 1 of the early proponents (seen as founder) of that tradition

In the jaiminIya brAhmaNa, we encounter an A~ngirasa vipra of the priyamedha line named sAkamashva: horse-together. It seems like the opposite name of the Iranian hero vIshtAspa which seems to mean horse-apart or horse-loosened. The Iranian name in turn closely parallels the name
of the ancient A~Ngirasa mentioned several times in the RV: vi+ashva=vyashva. He said to have composed the incantations to the 1000 eyed soma.
Some other names: (Ir) arazraspa = (IA) R^ijrAshva; Iranian frInAspa can be compared to two names of Indo-Aryans recorded in West Asia corresponding to the Mitanni elite and other statelets briefly held by IA there; they can be rendered as prIta-ashva and priya-ashva

The lost parts of the kaTha tradition, which was once practiced kashmIra, pA~nchanada & gandhAra also had distinctive rudrian material, e.g., https://t.co/3JCFyNmrGlmanasataramgini.wordpress.com/2020/12/27/yaj…
The above cited brAhmaNa comes just before the famous brAhmaNa section on the arrival of rudra in svarga and the deva-s pacifying him. The frame of this brAhmaNa was later used in the atharvashiras
That kaTha-s used the AV-like rudra (linked in first twt) to their shatarudrIya is suggested by this AraNyaka in the pravargya context: it has a brAhmaNa on the ending of the shatarudrIya combined with the AV-rudra-like mantra-s: "namo rudrAya diviShade yasaya varSham iShavaH"

The yajurvedin-s of all schools use the incantations beginning with agnAviShNU sajoShasa... known as the chamaka-prashna in their vasordhAra. The atharvaveda has an internal reference to what is taken as the vasordhAra:
vasor yA dhArA madhunA prapInA
ghR^itena mishrA amR^itasya nAbhayaH |
The atharvan vasordhAra uses a wholly different set of incantations. It begins with brahma jaj~nAnam prathamam...
Then it has the incantation:
asmin vasu vasavo dhArayantv
indraH pUShA varuNo mitro agniH |
Here again, the vasavo dhArayantu is taken to signify the vasordhAra. In the middle comes the above incantation vasor yA dhAra...
It also features AV incantation: ud utsaM shatadhAraM sahasradhAram akShitam | and related ones. However, the most striking feature of AV vasordhAra
