There are also many things that have been duplicated, embellished and adapted to suit different followers, different beliefs, different 'audiences'...and they have all been written at different times, by different adherents who claim it as being their own...plagiarism was huge in 1000 BCE to 1000 CE.
We'll take the case of two of my Gurus...Adi Shankara and Patanjali...yeah, so who wrote the Eight Limbs of Yoga FIRST? Was it Adi Shankara, who expounded the Eight Limbs of Yoga in his Dakshinamurthy Stotram? or was it Patanjali who expounded the Eight Limbs in his Yoga Aphorisms? or was it even the followers of Buddha who tweaked it to become the 'Noble Eightfold Path?'
There's only so many times something can be said, but I guess repetitions exist for all who missed it the first time....and the second time...and the third time...and the tenth time after that.
Om Namah Shivaya
