The subject matter of the Krshna Yajurveda is more or less the same as the Shukla Yajurveda. The only difference being that the Shukla Yajurveda gives only the mantras pertaining to the Yajna rituals while the Krshna Yajurveda also adds the pertinent brahmana sections.

The subject matter of the Krshna Yajurveda is more or less the same as the Shukla Yajurveda. The only difference being that the Shukla Yajurveda gives only the mantras pertaining to the Yajna rituals while the Krshna Yajurveda also adds the pertinent brahmana sections. It is said that there 85 branches of the Krshna Yajurveda of which only 4 of them are extent today with their respective Samhitas. However, being branches of the same Veda, there is similarity in terms of their nature, yagas described and the mantras prescribed. The Samhitas of Krshna Yajurveda are described in brief below:

=== तैत्तिरीयसंहिता ॥ Taittiriya Samhita ===
=== कपिष्ठलकठसंहिता ॥ Kapishthala Katha Samhita ===
=== कपिष्ठलकठसंहिता ॥ Kapishthala Katha Samhita ===
Kapishthala is the name of a Rshi that finds mention in Panini's sutra कपिष्ठलो गोत्रे (८.३.९१) and in Durgacharya's commentary on the nirukta where he says, अहं च कापिष्ठलो वासिष्ठः (निरुक्तटीका ४.४). There is only one manuscript of this Samhita available which is also incomplete. Also, the Kapishthala Samhita exhibits an influence of the Rgveda. Its Svarankana Paddhati is similar to that of the Rgveda. The Kapishthala Samhita, like the Rgveda, is organised into Ashtakas and Adhyayas. Details of the available portion of the text is enumerated below:
