Commentary

Adhyāya 39 of the Vājasaneyī Saṃhitā (White / Śukla Yajurveda), Mādhyandina recension. 13 verses parsed from Griffith's 1899 English translation. The Yajurveda compiles mantras and ritual prose for sacrificial performance; the Black (Kṛṣṇa) recension — which interleaves brāhmaṇa-style commentary with the mantras — is a separate text not included here.
