c12.6

To the *White Yajurveda* belongs the Çrauta Sūtra of Kātyāyana. This manual, which consists of twenty-six chapters, on the whole strictly follows the sacrificial order of the *Çatapatha Brāhmaṇa*. Three of its chapters (xxii.–xxiv.), however, relate to the ceremonial of the *Sāmaveda*. Owing to the enigmatical character of its style, it appears to be one of the later productions of the Sūtra period.
