Puranic Encyclopedia
The Caturvedas are:--ṛgveda, yajurveda sāmaveda and Atharvaveda. viṣṇu purāṇa, Part 3, Chapter 5, mentions that vaiśampāyana, the disciple of vedavyāsa, divided yajurveda into twentyseven branches and taught them to his disciples. Among those disciples there was [[याज्ञवल्क्य|yājñavalkya]], the son of Brahmarāta. It was vyāsa who divided the Vedas into four parts. After dīviding them, the sage [[व्यास|vyāsa]] taught[[ऋग्वेद|ṛgveda]] to [[पैल|paila]], [[यजुर्वेद|yajurveda]] to vaiśampāyana, sāmaveda to jaimini and Atharvaveda to sumantu.
The rules for japa, homa etc. of yajurveda were taught to vyāsa by Agnideva. If all the rules of [[यजुर्वेद|yajurveda]] are correctly observed, all desires will be fulfilled. There are special rules for the observance of homa for the fulfilment of particular desires.
