Shukla Yajurveda is one of the two branches of
Yajur Veda enumerated by
Lord Surya to Rishi Yaajnavalkya in the form of Vaaji. It follows the Aditya sampradaya (the school of Aditya.) There are seventeen branches of Sukla Yajurveda found quoted in various
puranas, among them Vaajasaneya and Kanva Samhita are available now. The Vaajasaneya Samhita is the most popular and it contains 40 chapters of
mantras in the form of mixed poetry and prose.
