Tittiri, "pupil" of Yaska

[edit]

This is a myth, propagated by the Vishnu Purana. The fact is that Yaska, in the Nirukta, quoted extensively from the Taittiriya Samhita (See Appendix I of Lakhsman Sarup's critical edition of the Nighantu and Nirukta), which to him was a Vedic text. In simple English: the Taittiriya Samhita was in existence long before Yaska. rudra 17:48, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Total Mess

[edit]

This article is a total mess - there are no "8" Kandas in TS, nor can one find Nakshatra Sukta in TS 3.5.1 and how does TS 3.5.1 come inside TA ?

Further - "Some individual hymns in this Samhita have gained particular importance in Hinduism". What is this suppose to mean? Are other hymns 'less important' ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.248.76.197 (talk) 03:58, 5 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Date of Taittiriya Sanhita

[edit]

This article presents a biased view of the dates, and does not include assessments based on the internal astronomical evidence within the Taittiriya Samhita. For example, in Chapter 3, page 59 of "The Orion, Or, Researches Into the Antiquity of the Vedas," Bal Gangadhar Tilak concludes that the age of the Samhita should be 2350BCE, a time when the vernal equinox was in Krittika (Pleiades). 204.111.9.184 (talk) 17:35, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
