White Yajurveda, Book XXIIशुक्लयजुर्वेद अध्याय २२

34 verses. Sanskrit beside Ralph T. H. Griffith’s English (1899).

Where a verse number appears on one side only, the two editions divide the text differently: Griffith sometimes joins two verses, abridges a repeated passage, or leaves a passage untranslated (shown in his text by rows of dots), and a few verse numbers are missing from the Sanskrit transcription.
