The first Åranyaka has five Adhyâyas : 1. First Adhyâya, Atha mahâvratam, has four Khardas, 1-4. 2. Second Adhyâya, À två ratham, has four Khandas, 5-8. 3. Third Adhyâya, Hinkarena, has eight.

The second Åranyaka has seven Adhyâyas: 6. First Adhyâya, Eshâ panthân, has eight Khandas, 1-8. 7. Second Adhyâya, Esha imam lokam, has four Khandas, 9-13. 8. Third Adhyâya, Yo ha vá atmånam, has eight (not three)
