== शुक्लयजुर्वेदस्य भाष्यकाराः ॥ Commentators of the Shukla Yajurveda ==
=== माध्यन्दिनसंहितायाः भाष्यकारौ ॥ Commentators of the Madhyandina Samhita ===
There are two prime commentators on the Madhyandina Samhita. They are enumerated as follows:
==== उवटः ॥ Uvata ====
From the bhashya text of Uvata it is known that he was the son of Vajrata from Anandapura and he wrote the bhashya while residing in Avanti during the reign of Raja Bhoja.
आनन्दपुरवास्तव्यवज्रटाख्यस्य सूनुना । उवटेन कृतं भाष्यं पदवाक्यैः सुनिश्चितैः ॥
ऋष्यादींश्च पुरस्कृत्य अवन्त्यामुवटो वसन् । मन्त्राणां कृतवान् भाष्यं महीं भोजे प्रशासति ॥
Even though concise, his commentary is known to be illuminating and easy to understand. It explains the meaning of various mantras from the adhyatma point of view. Uvata was an acclaimed vedic scholar of the medieval times. His other works include,
# Commentary on Rk-Pratishakhya
# Commentary on Yajuh-Pratishakhya
# Commentary on Rk-Sarvanukramani
# Commentary on the Ishavasyopanishad
And all these have been published.
==== महीधरः ॥ Mahidhara ====
The commentary of Mahidhara is known by the name 'Vedadipa'. There is a clear influence of Uvata seen on the commentary written by Mahidhara. However, by providing examples from the nirukta, shrautasutras, etc. Mahidhara's commentary makes the Yajna Prakriya (ritualistic procedure) easier to understand and attempts to further clarify the preceeding commentary given by Uvata. Mahidhara is also known to have written a Tantra text by the name 'Mantramahodadhi'.
