The Yajurveda literature
is divided into the White (Shukla) and the Black (Krishna) Yajurveda literature,
and the latter is
divided into four Branches (Shakas), the most important of which is the
Taittiriya Shaka.
Here we offer Krishna
Yajurveda works of the Taittiriya Shaka as Devanagari editions with svara
marks.
We also offer non-accented
transliterated searchable files and accented high-quality printable files.
