Description

The Texts of the White Yajurveda is a book by Ralph T. H. Griffith, first published in 1899. This work presents an English translation of the Shukla Yajurveda, one of the four Vedas—ancient sacred scriptures of Hinduism that form the foundation of Vedic literature and ritual practice. The White Yajurveda is distinguished from the Black Yajurveda by its clearer arrangement of verses and accompanying sacrificial formulas. Griffith, a Sanskrit scholar and prolific translator of Vedic texts, sought to make these ancient writings accessible to an English-speaking audience while preserving their spiritual and liturgical essence. His translation offers insights into early Indo-Aryan religious rites, cosmology, and theological concepts, shedding light on a complex tradition that influenced not only Indian religious life but also philosophical thought for centuries.
