Descrizione

About The Book -: The Yajur Veda is one of the four Vedas. It contains liturgical texts used during various important Hindu rituals. There are two major samhitas, or collections, the Black and White. The White Yajurveda, translated here, focuses on the liturgy, whereas the Black Yajurveda includes more explanatory material about the rituals.The Yajurveda— derived from the roots yej to sacrifice or worship, and vid to know, — is the Knowledge of Sacrifice or Sacrificial Texts and Formulas as distinguished from the Bigveda, or Knowledge of Recited Praise, the Samaveda or Knowledge of Chanted Hymns, and the Atharva or Brahmaveda which is the Knowledge of Prayer, Charm, and Spells. The Samhita of the White Yajurveda consists of forty Adhyayas or Books containing, with frequent repetitions of the same text, about two thousand Tersest A large portion of these are richas or Strophes borrowed — frequently with variations — from the Rigveda, and sometimes from the Atharva: these, of course, are metrical.
