Q. Which of the following is a Samhita of Shukla Yajurveda?

1. Vajasanami
2. Maitrayani
3. Taittiriya
4. Kathak

Answer: Vajasanami

• The Yajurveda ( यजुर्वेद, from yaj meaning "worship", and veda meaning "knowledge") is the Veda primarily of prose mantras for worship rituals.
• The Yajurveda is broadly grouped into two – the "black" or "dark"(Krishna) Yajurveda and the "white" or "bright"(Shukla) Yajurveda. The term "black" implies "the un-arranged, unclear, motley collection" of verses in Yajurveda, in contrast to the "white" which implies the "well arranged, clear" Yajurveda.
• The Yajurveda text includes Shukla Yajurveda of which about 16 recensions are known, while the Krishna Yajurveda may have had as many as 86 recensions.
• The samhita in the Shukla Yajurveda is called the Vajasaneyi Samhita. The name Vajasaneyi is derived from Vajasaneya, patronymic of sage Yajnavalkya, and the founder of the Vajasaneyi branch.
