English
यजुस्
n.
 (-जुः) The Yajur or Yajush, one of the four Vedas
it is di-
vided into two principal portions, the white and black, or Vāja-
saneyi and Taittirīya, the former of which is attributed to the
saint YĀJNAWALKYA, to whom it was revealed by the sun, in
the form of a horse
and the latter to TAITTIRI, to whom it
was communicated by YĀSKA, the first pupil of its original
author, the sage VAIŚAMPĀYANA: according to the Purāṇas
the Taittirīya portion was named from Tittiri a partridge
the disciples of VAIŚAMPĀYANA being changed into those birds,
to pick up the texts of the Veda as they were disgorged in a
tangible shape by YĀJNAWALKYA, at the command of VAIŚAM-
PĀYANA: both portions of this Veda are very full on the sub-
ject of religious rites, and the prayers peculiar to it, are chiefly
in measured and poetical prose.

English
यजुस्, उस्, n. religious reverence, veneration, wor-
ship, oblation, sacrifice (Ved.)
that by which a
sacrifice is effected, a sacrificial prayer or formula
a
text of the Yajur-veda or rather a technical term for
certain words or Mantras muttered in a peculiar
manner at a sacrifice, (these Mantras were properly
in prose as distinguished from the metrical ऋच् which
was recited, and the metrical सामन् which was
sung, see मन्त्र, 2. ऋच्
although, however, the
prose Yajus is a distinctive feature of the Yajur-veda,
this Veda is in real fact chiefly composed of verses
taken from the Ṛg-veda, which may then also be
called Yajus, cf. यजुर्-वेद below)
N. of the
Yajur-veda, q. v., (in this sense also frequently य-
जूंषि, n. pl.)
(उस्), m., N. of a man.
—यजुः-
शाखिन्, ई, इनी, इ, familiar with a Śākhā of the
Yajur-veda.
—यजुर्-मय, अस्, ई, अम्, consisting of
verses of the Yajur-veda
[cf. ऋङ्-मय।]
—यजुर्-
लक्ष्मी, ईस्, f., N. of a particular formula.
—यजुर्-
विद्, त्, त्, त्, knowing the Yajus, conversant with
sacrificial formulas, one who is familiar with the
Yajur-veda.
—यजुर्-विधान, अम्, n., N. of a work.
—यजुर्-वेद, अस्, m. ‘the sacrificial Veda, ’ the
collective body of sacred Mantras or texts which con-
stitute the Yajur-veda, (these Mantras, though often
consisting of the prose Yajus, are frequently identical
with the Mantras of the Ṛg-veda, the Yajur-veda
being only a collection of liturgical forms or rather a
sort of sacrificial prayer-book for the Adhvaryu priests
formed out of the Ṛg-veda, which had to be dissected
and re-arranged with additional texts for sacrificial
purposes
to serve these purposes, the hymns of the
Ṛg-veda are scattered about piecemeal, verses of the
same hymn being often transposed, verses from dif-
ferent hymns combined, and even those of different
poets brought together into one and the same hymn
in fact the compilation of the Yajur-veda resulted
from the gradual growth of a complicated ritual in
connection with those sacrifices without which the
Hindū believed it was impossible to secure the favour
of his gods, and for the performance of which the
unsystematic collection of hymns in the Ṛg-veda
was unsuited: the great characteristic feature of the
Yajur-veda is its division into two distinct collections
of texts, the one called Taittirīya-saṃhitā or Kṛṣṇa,
i. e. ‘Black’ [because in it the Saṃhitā or simple
collection of texts and Brāhmaṇa or explanation of
the rites in which the texts were employed is con-
fused]
the other called Vājasaneyi-saṃhitā or Śukla,
i. e. ‘White’ [because in this, which is thought to be
the more recent of the two recensions, the Saṃhitā is
cleared from confusion with its Brāhmaṇa, and there-
fore looks white and orderly]: the order of sacrifices,
however, of both divisions of the Yajur-veda is simi-
lar, two of the principal being the Darśa-pūrṇa-māsa
or sacrifice to be performed at new and full moon, and
the Aśva-medha or horse-sacrifice
cf. तैत्तिरीय-
संहिता, वाजसनेयि-संहिता।)
—यजुर्वेद-
श्राद्ध, N. of a work (treating of the prayers and
rites to be used at the anniversaries of the death of
parents according to the school of the Yajur-veda).
—यजुर्-वेदिन्, ई, इनी, इ, familiar with the Yajur-
veda.
—यजुर्वेदि-वृषोत्सर्ग-तत्त्व (°ष-उत्°),
अम्, n., N. of part of the Smṛti-tattva by Raghu-
nandana on the release of a bull according to the
teaching of the Yajur-veda.
—यजुर्वेदि-श्राद्ध-
तत्त्व, अम्, n., N. of certain verses by Raghu-

टस्, ind., Ved. from a Yajus

on the authority of the Yajur-veda.

Vedic Reference
English
Yajus is repeatedly distinguished from the Ṛc and the Sāman
in Vedic literature.^1 The Yajus is the utterance accompanying
the sacrifice, and may have the form of verse or prose, the tern
covering both.

promulgated by Vājasaneya Yājña-
valkya, whence the Vājasaneyi Saṃ-
hītā is popularly known as the ‘White
Yajurveda.’ The theory that this is
due to the fact that in the Vājasaneyi
the Mantra parts of the text are not
accompanied by Brāhmaṇa passages
is, though accepted by Weber, Indian
