One of the four samhitas (main texts) that make up the Vedas, the holy texts of Brahmanism in ancient India. It is a collection of yajus, or ritual texts, and is said to have come under the jurisdiction of the adhvaryu, the priest in charge of performing ritual acts. Yajus are phrases that address deities, ritual implements, offerings, etc., in conjunction with ritual acts to make the ritual effective, and are written mostly in prose. According to tradition, the Yajur-Veda was handed down in 86 or 101 schools, but only a few of these remain today. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
古代インドにおけるバラモン教の聖典ベーダを構成する諸文献のうち,4種のサンヒター(本集)の一つ。ヤジュスyajusすなわち祭詞を集録したもので,祭式において行作(ぎようさ)の実行を担当するアドバリユadhvaryu祭官の管掌に属するとされる。ヤジュスとは祭式の効力を生ぜしめる目的で行作にともない神格,祭具,供物などに呼びかける文句で,おおむね散文で書かれている。《ヤジュル・ベーダ》は伝承によれば86派あるいは101派に分かれて伝承されていたとされるが,現存するのはこのうちの数種である。
