If Sruti is the authority for Sandhya vandanam, some of my friends tell me that ‘Pranayamam’, ‘Shuklambaradhara japam’, etc., were originally not part of the karma and these were just added later.
Are these just add-ons to the original karma outlined in our granthams?
Request clarification from vedic scholars.

Requesting a reply, please
I don’t intend disturbing Swamiji with such petty questions.
At least somebody in the group with exposure to Sruti/Smruti can consider answering.

What difference does it make to us?
In some kAlAtheetha dosha prAyaschithArtham is mentioned in some books its not
So we follow whatever our elders followed in our lineage or our guru taught
In earlier procedure there was no kAyena vAchA
now it is there. In old only Sriranga mangala nidhim was there.
In Asana mantrasya procedure old book I remember reciting “koormAsanAya nama:” etc
In current book the shlokA is not there only nyAsam is there
In old book “Aadhithya mandaley dhyAyeth ” shlokam was there in current book its not there
More the ShlokA more the experience
So adiyen try to tell all
Dasanudasan
Also evening also East facing while recommended is west facing.
So anushtAnam will change according to pAta bedham.

I am not qualified to answer this question.
But based on Swami’s request, for such questions, if it is possible can you quote the sloka from the grantham that you or your friend are referring to claim the point?
From then on it will be easier for others to answer as well.
