Another non application of mind wrt the rishi concerned where, Yangna valkya and sukla yajur veda and similar yagna factors are written, ONLY BECAUSE OF KATYAYANI AND bHARADWAJA. WHY? I had written so many bharadwaj and which one and where and who all the bharadwaj as copies from wikipedia and Google?

Nature and Importance: In its character Yajurveda is quite different from the Rigveda & Samaveda Samhitas. It is principally in prose form. The word ‘Yajush‘ in the Yajurveda is explained variously. But one of its definitions says – ‘Gadyatmakam yajuh’. A ‘Yajuh’ is that which is in prose form’. Another definition – ‘Yajur Yajateh’ talks about its relation with the sacrifice (Yajna) because both the terms are derived from the root. ‘Yaj ‘. The Yajurveda is more pronouncedly a ritual Veda for it is essentially a guide-book for the Adhvaryu priest who had to do practically all ritualistic works in a sacrifice. His works vary from the selection of a plot of land for the sacrificial altar down to offering oblations to the sacred fires. Just as the Samaveda-Samhita is the song-book of the Udgata priest, so the Yajurveda-Samhitas are the prayer-books for the Adhvaryu priest. It is solely meant for the purposes of sacrificial rituals. The Yajurveda is also important for its presentation of philosophical doctrines. It preaches the concept of Prana and Manas also. Many times, it is quoted for depicting religious and social life of the Vedic people. It is also known for giving certain geographical data. 2. Division and Samhitas: The Yajurveda is two-fold 1. The White (or Pure) Yajurveda 2. The Black (or Dark) Yajurveda The Krishna Yajurveda is characterized by mixture of mantra and brahmana whereas the Shukla Yajurveda maintains the clear separation of the two. The Shukla Yajurveda is related with the Aditya-school and the Krishna Yajurveda is related with the Brahma-school. In the beginning of his commentary on the Shukla-Yajurveda Samhita, a story is given by Manidhara, about the two-fold division of the Yajurveda. Rishi Vaisampayana taught the Yajurveda to Rishi Yājnavalkya and other pupils.. Then Yājnavalkya prayed to the Sun, who came to him in the form of a horse i.e. Vaji ) and gave him back the Yajush. Hence this Yajurveda was named Shukla or Vajnasayi. Sulka Yajurveda has two Samhita available today: 1. Madhyandina Samhita YAJURVEDA 2. Kanva Samhtia Krishna Yajurveda has four Sanhitas available today: 1. Taittiriya Samhita 2. Kathaka Samhita 3. Kapishthala Samhita 4. Maitrayani Samhita 3. Contents : We find detailed description of sacrifices in the Samhita of Yajurveda. The Vajasaneyi-Samhita gives a vivid description of many important sacrifices such as – Darsha-purnamasa, Agnihotra, Somayaga, Chaturmasya, Agnihotra, Vajapeya, Ashvamedha, Sarva-medha, Brahma-yajya, Pitrimedha, Sautramani, and so on. For a general idea the contents can be divided into three sections. The first section comprises the Darshapurnamasa, the second section deals with the Somayaga and the third section comprises the Agnicayanas. The last section of the Vajasaneyi-Samhita contains the popular Ishavasya-Upanishad. It is important to know that the first eighteen Adhyayas of the Vajasaneyi- Samhita are completely given, word for word, and explained in the Shatapatha Brahmana of the white Yajurveda. On the basis of this point few scholars think that the last sections of this Samhita are of a later date. BRAHAMANAS Shukla Yajurveda Shatapatha Brahmana (Madhyandina) Shatapatha Brahmana (Kanva) (/brahmanas/kanva-shatapatha-brahmanas/) Krishna Yajurveda Taittiriya Brhamana (/brahmanas/taittiriya-brhamana/) Maitrayani Brahmana Caraka-Kathaka Brahmana Kapisthala-Katha Brahma ARANYAKAS *What is Jñāna?* It is the realisation by direct cognition of the fact that in this changing universe there is nothing but Caitanya [the one life] that is Consciousness, that is of the form of the seer and the seen, pervading all things, that is the same in all, and that is not subject to changes like pot, cloth, etc. This realisation is brought about by means of the subjugation of the body and the senses, the serving of a good Guru (teacher), the hearing of the exposition of Vedāntic doctrines and constant meditation thereon. *What is Ajñāna?* It is the illusory attribution, like the snake in the rope, of many Ātmās (souls) through the diverse Upādhis [or vehicles] of the angels, beasts, men, the fixed ones, females, males, castes and orders of life, bondage and emancipation, etc., to Brahman that is secondless, all-permeating and of the nature of all. *1* 1. Shukla Yajurveda Brihadaranyaka Upanishad Verse 4.4.10 uses the terms vidyA and avidyA अन्धं तमः प्रविशन्ति येऽविद्यामुपासते । ततो भूय इव ते तमो य उ विद्यायां रताः ॥ १० ॥ andhaṃ tamaḥ praviśanti ye'vidyāmupāsate | tato bhūya iva te tamo ya u vidyāyāṃ ratāḥ || 10 || 10. Into blinding darkness (ignorance) enter those who worship ignorance (rites). Into greater darkness, as it were, than that enter those who are devoted to knowledge (the ceremonial portion of the Vedas). Same verse is also present in Isavasya upanishad 9. 2. Krishna Yajurveda Katha Upanishad 1.2.4 also uses the terms vidyA and avidyA. दूरमेते विपरीते विषूची अविद्या या च विद्येति ज्ञाता । विद्याभीप्सिनं नचिकेतसं मन्ये न त्वा कामा बहवोऽलोलुपन्त ॥ ४ ॥ dūramete viparīte viṣūcī avidyā yā ca vidyeti jñātā | vidyābhīpsinaṃ naciketasaṃ manye na tvā kāmā bahavo'lolupanta || 4 || 4. These two are wide apart, mutually exclusive, leading to different ways, known as ignorance and knowledge. I regard Nachiketas as wishing for knowledge; desires, though numerous, have not shaken thee. *Addition* 3. In Krishna Yajurveda Taittiriya Upanishad 2.6 <https://shlokam.org/texts/taittiriya-2-6/>, the terms, vijnAnam and avijnAnam are used. असन्नेव स भवति । असद्ब्रह्मेति वेद चेत् । अस्ति ब्रह्मेति चेद्वेद । सन्तमेनं ततो विदुरिति । तस्यैष एव शारीर आत्मा । यः पूर्वस्य । अथातोऽनुप्रश्नाः । उताविद्वानमुं लोकं प्रेत्य । कश्चन गच्छती आहो विद्वानमुं लोकं प्रेत्य । कश्चित्समश्नुता३ उ । सोऽकामयत । बहुस्यां प्रजायेयेति । स तपोऽतप्यत । स तपस्तप्त्वा । इदꣳसर्वमसृजत । यदिदं किञ्च । तत्सृष्ट्वा । तदेवानुप्राविशत् । तदनु प्रविश्य । सच्च त्यच्चाभवत् । निरुक्तं चानिरुक्तं च । निलयनं चानिलयनं च । *विज्ञानं* *चाविज्ञानं* *च* । सत्यं चानृतं च सत्यमभवत् । यदिदं किञ्च । तत्सत्यमित्याचक्षते । तदप्येष श्लोको भवति ॥ १॥ इति षष्ठोऽनुवाकः ॥ asanneva sa bhavati . asadbrahmeti veda cet . asti brahmeti cedveda . santamenaṃ tato viduriti . tasyaiṣa eva śārīra ātmā . yaḥ pūrvasya . athāto’nupraśnāḥ . utāvidvānamuṃ lokaṃ pretya . kaścana gacchatī āho vidvānamuṃ lokaṃ pretya . kaścitsamaśnutā3 u . so’kāmayata . bahusyāṃ prajāyeyeti . sa tapo’tapyata . sa tapastaptvā . idagͫsarvamasṛjata . yadidaṃ kiñca . tatsṛṣṭvā . tadevānuprāviśat . tadanu praviśya . sacca tyaccābhavat . niruktaṃ cāniruktaṃ ca . nilayanaṃ cānilayanaṃ ca . *vijñānaṃ cāvijñānaṃ ca* . satyaṃ cānṛtaṃ ca satyamabhavat . yadidaṃ kiñca . tatsatyamityācakṣate . tadapyeṣa śloko bhavati .. 1.. iti ṣaṣṭho’nuvākaḥ .. If he knows Brahman as non-existent, he becomes himself non-existent. If he knows Brahman as existent, then (they) the world knows him to be existent. Of the former (Anandamaya kosha), the Self is the essence. Thereupon arise the following questions: Does the ignorant, leaving this world, go There? Or, does the knower, leaving this world, obtain That? He desired, ‘I shall become many and be born. He performed Tapas. having performed Tapas, He created all this (whatever we perceive). Having created it, He entered into it. Having entered it, He became the manifest and the unmanifest, the defined and undefined, the housed and the houseless, *knowledge and ignorance*, truth and falsehood, and all this whatsoever that exists. Therefore, it is called Existence. In this sense, there is the following Vedik verse.
