KRISHNA YAJURVEDA NOUN
yvk.1.8 | f Go away, O ye Pitrs, Soma loving, With your majestic ancient paths; Then reach ye the kindly Pitrs Who carouse in company with Yama. |
yvk.1.8 | c The gods that sit in the east, led by Agni; that sit in the south, led by Yama; that sit in the west, led by Savitr; that sit in the north, led by Varuna; that sit above, led by Brhaspati; that slay the Raksases; may they protect us, may they help us; to them homage; to them hail! [1] d The Raksases are collected, the Raksases are burnt up; here do I burn up the Raksases. |
yvk.1.8 | e To Agni, slayer of Raksases, hail! To Yama, Savitr, Varuna, Brhaspati, the worshipful, the slayer of Raksases, hail! f The sacrificial fee is a chariot with three horses. |
yvk.1.8 | l O Rudra, that highest active name of thee, to that thou art offered, thou art offered to Yama. |
yvk.2.1 | The gods and Yama were at strife over this world; Yama appropriated (ayuvata) the power and strength of the gods; therefore Yama has his name [3]. |
yvk.2.1 | The gods reflected, Yama here has become what we are. |
yvk.2.6 | Agni was in yonder world, Yama in this. |
yvk.2.6 | The gods said, Come, let us interchange them with food the gods invited Agni [4], with the kingdom the Pitrs Yama; therefore is Agni the food eater of the gods, Yama the king of the Pitrs; he who knows thus obtains the kingdom and food. |
yvk.2.6 | o Matali with the Kavyas, Yama with the Angirases, Brhaspati rejoicing with the Rkvans, Those whom the gods magnified and those who magnified the gods; Some in the Svaha call, some in the Svadha rejoice [5]. |
yvk.2.6 | p Sit on this strew, O Yama, In accordance with the Angirases, the fathers Let the verses made by the poets bring thee hither Rejoice, O king, in this offering. |
yvk.2.6 | Come with the Angirases who deserve the sacrifice Yama, rejoice here with the Vairupas; I summon Virasvant who is thy father, Sitting down on the strew at this sacrifice. |
yvk.3.2 | h May the sun, the god, guard me from trouble from the sky, Vayu from the atmosphere [3], Agni from earth, Yama from the fathers, Sarasvati from men. |
yvk.3.3 | b That loan which I have not yet paid back [1], The tribute that I still owe to Yama, Here do I make requital for it; Here, O Agni, may I be freed from that debt. |
yvk.3.3 | Yama is Agni, Yama is this (earth); the sacrificer becomes under a debt to Yama in that he strews the altar with plants; if he were to go away with out burning (them), they would drag him about bound by the neck [3] in yonder world. |
yvk.3.3 | In that he burns, (saying) The loan which I have not yet paid being here, having made requital of the loan to Yama, he goes freed from the debt to the world of heaven. |
yvk.3.4 | a Agni overlord of creatures, may he help me; Indra of powers, Yama of earth, Vayu of the atmosphere, Surya of the sky, Candramas of Naksatras, Brhaspati of holy power, Mitra of truths, Varuna of waters, the ocean of streams, food of lordships overlord, may it help me; Soma of plants, Savitr of instigations, Rudra of cattle, Tvastr of forms, Visnu of mountains, the Maruts of troops overlords, may they help me. |
yvk.4.1 | i What time, O Brhaspati, thou didst free From life yonder, from Yama s enmity, The Asvins removed death from him, O Agni, the physicians of the gods with their powers. |
yvk.4.2 | a Go hence depart, creep away, hence, Ye that are here of old and ye that are new, Yama hath given this resting place of earth, The Pitrs have made this world for him. |
yvk.4.2 | f The bright light Born beyond this firmament, May that convey us beyond our foes, O Agni Vaisvanara, hail! g Homage to thee, O Nirrti of every form [2], Loosen ye this bond made of iron; Do thou in accord with Yama and Yami Mount this highest vault. |
yvk.4.4 | (Thou art) Prajapati in mind, when come to the Soma; the creator in the consecration; Savitr in the bearing; Pusan in the cow for the purchase of the Soma; Varuna when bound (in the cloth); Asura in the being bought; Mitra when purchased; Sipivista when put in place; delighter of men when being drawn forward; the overlord on arrival; Prajapati being led on; Agni at the Agnidh s altar; Brhaspati on being led from the Agnidh s altar; Indra at the oblation holder; Aditi when put in place; Visnu when being taken down; Atharvan when made wet; Yama when pressed out; drinker of unpurified Soma() when being cleansed; Vayu when purifying; Mitra as mixed with milk; the Manthin when mixed with groats; that of the All gods when taken out; Rudra when offered; Vayu when covered up; the gazer on men when revealed; the food when it comes; the famed of the fathers; life when taken; the river when going to the final bath; the ocean when gone; the water when dipped; the heaven when arrived at completion. |

yvk.5.2 | Yama holds the overlordship of the whole extent of earth; he who without asking from Yama a place of it for divine sacrifice piles up the fire is piling it for Yama. |
