yajurbhir akaroc chākhādaśa pañca śatair vibhuḥjagṛhur vājasanyas tāḥkāṇva-mādhyandinādayaḥ

Translation:

From these countless hundreds of mantras of the Yajur Veda, the powerful sage compiled fifteen new branches of Vedic literature. These became known as the Vājasaneyi-saṁhitā because they were produced from the hairs of the horse’s mane, and they were accepted in disciplic succession by the followers of Kāṇva, Mādhyandina and other ṛṣis.
