Book excerpt: There are two primary versions or Samhitas of the Yajurveda: Shukla (white) and Krishna (black).

Shukla Yajurveda The Shukla Yajurveda is represented by the Vajasaneyi Samhita.

Download or read book Text and Authority in the Older Upani ads written by Signe Cohen and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2008-06-30 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Upaniṣads have often been treated as a unified corpus of religious and philosophical texts, separate from the older Vedic tradition. It is well known that the Upaniṣads were initially composed and transmitted within specific schools of Vedic recitation, or Śākhās, but the Śākhā affiliation of each Upaniṣad has received very little attention in the scholarly literature. The author offers a new interpretation of the older Upaniṣads in the light of the Vedic school affiliations of each text. This book argues that issues of textual authority, and in particular the authority of the various Vedic schools, are central in the Upaniṣads, and that the Upaniṣads can, on one level, be read as texts about text. While analyzing the theme of textual authority in the Upaniṣads, the author also outlines a theory of textual criticism as applied to orally transmitted texts that will be of use to textual scholars in other fields as well.

Download or read book The Texts of the White Yajurveda written by Ralph Thomas Hotchkin Griffith and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-06-04 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Texts of the White Yajurveda: Translated With a Popular Commentary The savsns - derived from the roots yqi, to sacrifice or worship, and mid, to know, - is the Knowledge of Sacrifice or Sacrificial Texts and Formulas as distinguished from the Big vedaor Knowledge of Recited Praise, the Samaveda or Know ledge of Chanted Hymns, and the Atharva or Brahmaveda which is the Knowledge of Prayer, Charm, and Spells. Though ranking second in the Indian enumeration of the Vedas and containing much that is of very ancient origin, its compilation in its present form, exhibiting as it does the almost complete development of castes and mixt castes and considerable advance in arts and sciences, trades, handicrafts and occupations, is evidently of later date than that even of the Atharva. The Samhita or Collection of its hymns, texts, and formulas, con stituting the hymn-book and prayer-book of the Adhvaryu priests as distinguished from the Hotar, the Udgfitar, and the Brahman, the special priests, respectively, of the three other Vedas, owes its origin to the increasing multiformity and com plication of the Indian ritual and the recognized insuficiency of the simple and unsystematically arranged Collection of Big veda Hymns to meet the requirements of the performers of various emntially important rites and ceremonies.

Download or read book The Yajurveda with glossary and index written by Devi Chand and published by South Asia Books. This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Description: The Vedas are the foundation on which the imposing Hindu religious edifice is built. The Yajurveda contains hymns taken from the older Rigveda and prose passages which are new. The hymns display considerable deviation from the original Rigvedic text. It can be called a priestly manual; for it lays down rules for the performance of various sacrifices. It has two samhitas or a collection of hymns of mantras; these are Taittiriya Samhita and Vajasaneya Samhita, popularly known as Black and White Yajur respectively. The subject-matter of both the samhitas is almost the same, though the arrangement is somewhat different. Of the two the Vajasaneya Samhita is planned in a more systematic and orderly manner than the other. It also contains some texts which are not found in the Taittiriya Samhita. This translation of Yajurveda by Devi Chand is based upon Swami Dayanand's interpretation. The translator has provided references in the footnotes to the different views of other scholars. To bring home to the common man the message of the Yajurveda, he has spared no pains to remove all obscurities inherent in the old form of Sanskrit which was in vogue three thousand years ago. The introduction and the index are added to help the reader. Everyone interested in the Vedas will find this book indispensable.

Download or read book The Upanisads written by Signe Cohen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-27 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Upaniṣads are among the most sacred foundational scriptures in the Hindu religion. Composed from 800 BCE onwards and making up part of the larger Vedic corpus, they offer the reader "knowledge lessons" on life, death, and immortality. While they are essential to understanding Hinduism and Asian religions more generally, their complexities make them almost impenetrable to anyone but serious scholars of Sanskrit and ancient Indian culture. This book is divided into five parts: Composition, authorship, and transmission of the Upaniṣads; The historical, cultural, and religious background of the Upaniṣads; Religion and philosophy in the Upaniṣads; The classical Upaniṣads; The later Upaniṣads. The chapters cover critical issues such as the origins of the Upaniṣads, authorship, and redaction, as well as exploring the broad religious and philosophical themes within the texts. The guide analyzes each of the Upaniṣads separately, unpacking their contextual relevance and explaining difficult terms and concepts. The Upaniṣads: A Complete Guide is a unique and valuable reference source for undergraduate religious studies, history, and philosophy students and researchers who want to learn more about these foundational sacred texts and the religious lessons in the Hindu tradition.
