[1] M. S. Bhat dates the composition of these texts to between 500 and 300 BCE, with the Ṛg Vidhāna being the oldest.
The Ṛg Vidhāna is also followed up by works with titles such as Ṛgvidhānakārikā, Ṛgvidhānasaṁkṣepa, and Ṛgvidhi; these are likely late compendia.
The text, in the earlier, shorter recension, consists of four adhyāyas, or chapters.
A commentary on the text, entitled Ṛgvidhāna-pada-pañcikā, by Mātṛsūnu, is extant.
A commentary entitled Yajurmañjarī was written on the text by Mahārāja Mahībhuj, with the assistance of Kālanātha-bhaṭṭa.
