KRISHNA YAJURVEDA NOUN

yvk.1.1	s Let the Vasus grasp thee with the Gayatri metre, let the Rudras grasp thee with the Tristubh.
yvk.1.1	p Sit on the seat of the Vasus, Rudras, Adityas.
yvk.1.1	c To the Vasus thee, to the Rudras thee, to the Adityas thee! d Licking the anointed lot the birds go asunder.
yvk.1.2	i May the cry of Indra guard thee in front with the Vasus; may the swift of mind guard thee on the right with the Pitrs; may the wise one guard thee behind with the Rudras; may Visvakarman guard thee on the left with the Adityas.
yvk.1.4	a Three and thirty in troops the Rudras Frequent the sky and earth, the destructive ones, Eleven seated on the waters; May all of them accept the Soma pressed for the pressing.
yvk.1.7	Agni with one syllable won speech; the Asvins with two syllables won expiration and inspiration; Visnu with three syllables won the three worlds; Soma with four syllables won four footed cattle; Pusan with five syllables won the Parkti; Dhatr with six syllables won the six seasons; the Maruts with seven syllables won the seven footed Sakvari; Brhaspati with eight syllables won the Gayatri; Mitra with nine syllables won the threefold Stoma [1]; Varuna with ten syllables won the Viraj; Indra with eleven syllables won the Tristubh; the All gods with twelve syllables won the Jagati; the Vasus with thirteen syllables won the thirteenfold Stoma; the Rudras with fourteen syllables won the fourteenfold Stoma; the Adityas with fifteen syllables won the fifteenfold Stoma; Aditi with sixteen syllables won the sixteen fold Stoma; Prajapati with seventeen syllables won the seventeenfold Stoma.
yvk.2.1	i First let Agni with the Vasus aid us; Let Soma with the Rudras protect (us); Let Indra with the Maruts act in due course; Let Varuna with the Adityas quicken us.
yvk.2.1	l As the Adityas are united with the Vasus, The Rudras with the Maruts, So, O thou of three names, May the All gods without anger be of one mind.
yvk.2.2	To Agni with the Rudras he should offer a cake on eight potsherds when he practises witchcraft; Rudra is his dread form; verily he cuts him down to him; swiftly he reaches misfortune.
yvk.2.2	The gods and the Asuras were in conflict; the gods were mutually at variance; unwilling to accept the pre eminence of another they went apart in four bodies, Agni with the Vasus, Soma with the Rudras, Indra with the Maruts, Varuna with the Adityas.
yvk.2.2	Indra had recourse to Prajapati; he made him [5] sacrifice with the verse for harmony; to Agni with the Vasus he offered a cake on eight potsherds, to Soma with the Rudras an oblation, to Indra with the Maruts a cake on eleven potsherds, to Varuna with the Adityas an ob ation; then indeed the gods agreed to recognize Indra s pre eminence.
yvk.2.2	Him who is mutually at variance with his fellows he should cause to offer with the verse for harmony; he should offer to Agni with the Vasus a cake on eight potsherds, to Soma with the Rudras an oblation, to Indra with the Maruts a cake on eleven potsherds, to Varuna with the Adityas an oblation; so him becoming Indra his fellows recognize as superior; he becomes the best of his fellows.
yvk.3.2	h Of thee, O god Soma, who hast the Rudras for thy troop, who knowest the mind, who belongest to the midday pressing, who hast the Tristubh for thy metre, who art drunk by Indra, who art drunk by Narasansa [2], who art drunk by the fathers, who hast sweetness, and who art invited, I invited eat.
yvk.3.3	b Lot the Rudras press thee with the Tristubh metre; go thou to the dear place of Indra.
yvk.3.4	The Vasus are eight [6], the Gayatri has eight syllables; the Rudras are eleven, the Tristubh has eleven syllables; the Adityas are twelve, the Jagati has twelve syllables, the Anustubh is Prajapati, the Vasat call Dhatr.
yvk.3.5	d O Agni and Soma, the first in strength, Do ye quicken the Vasus, the Rudras, the Adityas here; Rejoice in him of the full moon in the midst, Ye that are made to grow by holy power, won by good deeds, And allot to us wealth with heroes.
yvk.3.5	Thou art the eager; for the Vasus thee! Quicken the Vasus he says; the Vasus are eight, the Rudras eleven, the Adityas twelve; so many are the gods; verily to them he announces the sacrifice.

yvk.4.1	g The Rudras, having gathered together the earth, Kindled a great light; Their ray undying Shineth clear among the gods.

yvk.5.2	May the Adityas [5], the Rudras, the Vasus kindle thee again he says; these deities first kindled him; verily by them he kindles him.
yvk.5.3	Thou art the portion of the Vasus (with these words) he put down on the east; the Vasus are the beginning of the sacrifice, the Rudras are the beginning of the sacrifice, the twenty fourfo d is the beginning of the sacrifice; verily on the east he establishes the beginning of the sacrifice.
