by Dr. R. L. Kashyap

This translation is unique in several ways. This is the first time that the Devanagari text, transliteration and the English translation are printed side by side.

The format is so arranged that the meaning of each word can be figured out with relative ease. This book contains the first two Kandas namely Kanda 1 and Kanda 2 of TS.

The two Kandas in this book have a total of 1580 mantras of which 575 are metrical verses (Riks), the remaining 1005 being in rhythmic prose (Yajus).

This book deals with a recension (shakha) of Yajur Veda, with the name of Krishna Yajur Veda Taittiriya Samhita, indicated as KYTS or simply as TS.
