with regards to the multiplicity of shAkhA-s and samhita-s, an evolution and corruption is clearly acknowledged in lingapurANa-
एको वेदश्चतुष्पादस्त्रेतास्विह विधीयते । संक्षयादायुषश्चैव व्यस्यते द्वापरेषु सः ॥ १,३९.५७ ॥ ऋषिपुत्रैः पुनर्भेदा भिद्यन्ते दृष्टिविभ्रमैः । मन्त्रब्राह्मणविन्यासैः स्वरवर्णविपर्ययैः ॥ १,३९.५८ ॥ संहिता ऋग्यजुःसाम्नां संहन्यन्ते मनीषिभिः । सामान्या वैकृताश्चैव द्रष्टृभिस्तैः पृथक्पृथक् ॥ १,३९.५९ ॥
Despite this, the supreme prAmANya of the veda-s remains unchallenged (The edits were done with the best intentions and by people we trust). Similarly, even manusmRti itself acknowledges editing by bhRgu and co - yet the edited parts are to be taken seriously.
