Book Description
About the Book:

It is or the first time that a complete critical edition of the Satapaha Brahmana of the Kanva school of the Sukla Yajurveda alongwith its English translation is published. This edition has taken into account the reading available in a few more manuscript, besides those in the published edition in Telgu script, which were not available to Prof. Caland who brought out a critical edition of its first seven Kandas. It is also the first attempt at providing a complete English translation. No Doubt the texts of Satapatha of the Madhyandina and Kanva school do not differ much from Kandas VIII to XVI and Prof. Eggeling's translation of the former is available. Still a fresh attempt at translating the latter portion was felt necessary as result of detailed discussions with traditional scholars who are actively engaged in Srauta sacrificial performances.

Textual Notes to Substanitiate the choice of particular reading; a section under the heading Vimarsa discussing certain selected topics arising out of a study of the text; an exhaustive list of contents, Brahmana-wise and glossary of technical terms are some of the additional features of this attempt. The suggestions and guidance of traditional scholars who are experts in Srautayagas are the most important advantages of this edition.
