It is an independent work attributed to the sage Kauśika about whom nothing is known. Though the Vedic scholars agree that this is the oldest of the five works mentioned, no possible date has been assigned to it. It has 14 adhyāyas or chapters. Each adhyāya has several kaṇḍikās or sections. The kaṇḍikās further comprise of several individual sūtras. There are 3008 sūtras distributed among 141 kaṇḍikās. The contents of the sutras embrace an array of subjects ranging from Vedic sacrifices to the medical science and black magic.
