Description

About the Book

The Yajurveda


The Yajurveda is one of the four canonical texts of Hinduism, the Vedas. By some, it is estimated to have been composed between 1000 - 600 BCE, the Yajurveda 'Samhita', or 'compilation', contains the liturgy (mantras) needed to perform the sacrifices of the Veda, and the added Brahmana and Shrautasutra add information on the interpretation and on the details of their performance. This is the last of the Griffith Veda translations to be digitized.
