Q. With reference to the Yajurveda, consider the following statements:

1. The White Yajurveda (Shukla) maintains a clear separation between the Samhita and Brahmana, whereas the Black Yajurveda (Krishna) has these two intermixed.
2. The White Yajurveda is primarily followed in northern India, while the Black Yajurveda is more prevalent in southern India.
3. The White Yajurveda is also known as the Vajasaneyi Samhita, whereas the Black Yajurveda is also called the Taittiriya Samhita.

Which of the above statements are correct?
Answer: Only 1 and 2
Notes: Statement 1 is correct as Shukla (White) Yajurveda keeps the Samhita and Brahmana separate, but Krishna (Black) Yajurveda mixes them. Statement 2 is correct; Shukla Yajurveda predominates in the North and Krishna in the South. Statement 3 is incorrect, as not all Black Yajurveda recensions are Taittiriya Samhita; there are multiple, but the White Yajurveda is Vajasaneyi Samhita.
