THE SACRED LIBRARY
About Krishna Yajurveda
Krishna is the traditional name of this textual branch. Here it does not refer to a biography of the deity Krishna, and the translation Black does not express a moral judgment about the scripture. The branch belongs to the schools that preserve Yajurvedic ritual learning.
The Taittiriya collection is one form of the Krishna Yajurveda, not a name that erases the other schools. It should also be distinguished from the Taittiriya Brahmana, Aranyaka and Upanishad, which have related but different textual identities.
