Lineage of Prajapati - Verse 122

It is mentioned before that there are eighty-eight thousand Srutarsis. They propagate these (Vedic) Samhitas again and again. 123. Those branches (of the Vedic lore) are rearranged again and again in every Yuga by them who, following the Southern Path, resorted to cremation grounds ( = died). 124 In all (every) Dvapara Age, (Vedic) Samhitas have been composed by Srutarsis. In their lineage, these recensions (branches of Veda) appear again and again. Those recensions and their composers survive till the end of the Yuga.
