May it protect us both, teacher and student; may our learning shine.
स्वागतम् · Welcome
The complete Taittirīya Śākhā, with every svara, in five scripts. Free for anyone to read, recite and learn, on a phone or in print.
निवेदनम् An offering
Vijayadaśamī is the day on which learning is begun afresh. On this Vijayadaśamī I offer this edition of the Kṛṣṇa Yajurveda Taittirīya Śākhā. It has been a labour of love for well over a year: comparing printed books and other editions line by line, checking svara and sandhi, and building the tools to show the text faithfully in every script.
It is my humble offering to our Sanātana Dharma, with the blessings of our gurus.

पदं क्रमं च Pada and Krama, as you learnt them
Every praśna of the Saṃhitā is here in all three pāṭhas, a tap apart. Split words show the pause as the books do (इत्यन्न—कामः), and each pañcāśatī shows how it ends and begins when it is learnt on its own.
अन्वेषणम् Find any mantra
Search by a few words, typed in English letters or in your own script, or go straight to a reference such as TS 1.1.1. The result opens at the exact passage.
मुद्रणम् 212 print-ready PDFs
Every praśna, prapāṭhaka and sūkta can be downloaded as a PDF, typeset like a book with the svara intact, to print for a class or keep on a tablet.
