This is one of the
two principal versions of the Yajur Veda, one of the earliest Hindu holy
writings, together with the Black Yajur Veda.
The most significant distinction between these two versions
is the insertion of explanatory comments on the Vedic mantras and their
significance.
The "White" Yajur Veda collects these observations
in an appendix known as a Brahmana—specifically, the Shatapatha Brahmana, which
gives the Vedic scriptures their name.
The four recensions of the Black Yajur Veda, on the other
hand, incorporate these remarks in the text itself.
