CHAP. V.
Divisions of the
Yajur-veda. Story of Yajnawalkya: forced to give up what he has learned: picked
up by others, forming the Taittiriya-yajush. Yajnawalkya worships the sun, who
communicates to him the Vajasneyi-yajush.
PARAS'ARA.--Of the
tree of the Yajur-veda there are twenty-seven branches, which Vais'ampayana,
the pupil of Vyasa, compiled, and taught to as many disciples. Amongst these,
Yajnawalkya, the son of Brahmarata, was distinguished for piety and obedience
to his preceptor.
It had been formerly
agreed by the Munis, that any one of them who, at a certain time, did not join
an assembly held on mount Meru should incur the guilt of killing a Brahman,
within a period of seven nights. Vais'ampayana alone failed to keep the
appointment, and consequently killed, by an accidental kick with his foot, the
child of his sister. He then addressed his scholars, and desired them to
perform the penance expiatory of Brahmanicide on his behalf. Without any
hesitation Yajnawalkya refused, and said, "How shall I engage in penance
with these miserable and inefficient Brahmans?" On which his Guru, being
incensed, commanded him to relinquish all that he had learnt from him.
"You speak contemptuously," he observed, "of these young Brahmans,
but of what use is a disciple who disobeys my commands?" "I
spoke," replied Yajnawalkya, "in perfect faith; but as to what I have
read from you, I have had enough: it is no more than this--" (acting as if
he would eject it from his stomach); when he brought up the texts of the Yajush
in substance stained with blood. He then departed. The other scholars of
Vais'ampayana, transforming themselves to partridges (Tittiri), picked up the
texts which he had disgorged, and which from that circumstance were called
Taittiriya; and the disciples were called the Charaka professors of the Yajush,
from Charana, 'going through' or 'performing' the expiatory rites enjoined by
their master.
Yajnawalkya, who was
perfect in ascetic practices, addressed himself strenuously to the sun, being
anxious to recover possession of the texts of the Yajush. "Glory to the
sun," he exclaimed, "the gate of liberation, the fountain of bright radiance,
the triple source of splendour, as the Rig, the Yajur, and the Sama Vedas.
Glory to him, who, as fire and the moon, is one with the cause of the universe:
to the sun, that is charged with radiant heat, and with the Sushumna ray (by
which the moon is fed with light): to him who is one with the notion of time,
and all its divisions of hours, minutes, and seconds: to him who is to be meditated
upon as the visible form of Vishnu, as the impersonation of the mystic Om: to
him who nourishes the troops of the gods, having filled the moon with his rays;
who feeds the Pitris with nectar and ambrosia, and who nourishes mankind with
rain; who pours down or absorbs the waters in the time of the rains, of cold,
and of heat. Glory be to Brahma, the sun, in the form of the three seasons: he
who alone is the dispeller of the darkness of this earth, of which he is the
sovereign lord: to the god who is clad in the raiment of purity be adoration.
Glory to the sun, until whose rising man is incapable of devout acts, and water
does not purify, and touched by whose rays the world is fitted for religious
rites: to him who is the centre and source of purification. Glory to Savitri,
to Surya, to Bhaskara, to Vivaswat, to Aditya, to the first-born of gods or
demons. I adore the eye of the universe, borne in a golden car, whose banners
scatter ambrosia."
Thus eulogized by
Yajnawalkya, the sun, in the form of a horse, appeared to him, and said,
"Demand what you desire." To which the sage, having prostrated
himself before the lord of day, replied, "Give me a knowledge of those
texts of the Yajush with which even my preceptor is unacquainted."
Accordingly the sun imparted to him the texts of the Yajush called Ayatayama
(unstudied), which were unknown to Vais'ampayana: and because these were
revealed by the sun in the form of a horse, the Brahmans who study this portion
of the Yajush are called Vajis (horses). Fifteen branches of this school sprang
from Kanwa and other pupils of Yajnawalkya.
