Shatapatha Brahmana
The ''Shatapatha Brahmana'' ( ', "Brahmana of one hundred paths", abbreviated ) is one of the prose texts describing the Vedic ritual, associated with the Shukla Yajurveda. It survives in two recensions, Madhyandina (ŚBM, of the ') and Kanva (ŚBK, of the '), with the former having the eponymous 100 chapters (''adhyaya''s), 7,624 ''kandika''s (parts) in 14 books, and the latter 104 chapters, 6,806 ''kandika''s in 17 books.

Linguistically, the Shatapatha Brahmana belongs to the later part of the Brahmana period of Vedic Sanskrit (i.e. roughly the 8th to 6th centuries BCE, Iron Age India).〔Keith, ''Aitareya Aranyaka'', p. 38 (Introduction): "by common consent, the Satapatha is one of the youngest of the great Brahmanas"; footnotes: "Cf. Macdonell, Sanskrit Literature, pp. 203, 217. The Jaiminiya may be younger, cf. its use of ''aadi'', Whitney, P.A.O.S, May 1883, p.xii."〕
Jan N. Bremmer dates it to around 700 BCE. According to Julius Eggeling, the final version of the text was committed in 300 BCE, although some of its portions are "far older, transmitted orally from unknown antiquity".〔(The Satapatha Brahmana ). Sacred Books of the East, Vols. 12, 26, 24, 37, 47, translated by Julius Eggeling (between 1882 and 1900 )〕
