Shatapatha Brahmana
Shatapatha Brahmana (
Brahmana of one-hundred paths) is one of the prose texts describing the
Vedic ritual. It belongs to the
White Yajurveda school. Some scholars have dated it to
1800 BC or so based on the reference in it of migration from the
Sarasvati river area to east India, because the river is said to have dried up around
1900 BC.
It has the greatest value in the understanding of the Vedas.
