Śatapatha  : nt.: Name of a Vedic text belonging to the White Yajurveda.

Described as a new Veda (lit. ‘which did not exist before’) (vedam apūrvam) 12. 306. 23; God Sūrya blessed Yājñavalkya with a boon and told him that goddess Sarasvatī, in the form of speech, would enter his body; he then asked Yājñavalkya to open his mouth (sarasvatīha vāgbhūtā śarīraṁ te pravekṣyati/tato mām āha bhagavān āsyaṁ svaṁ vivṛtaṁ kuru/) 12. 306. 6-7; Yājñavalkya was then to promulgate the entire Śatapatha at the end of which activity his mind would seek liberation (kṛtsnaṁ śatapathaṁ caiva praṇeṣyasi dvijarṣabha/tasyānte cāpunarbhāve buddhis tava bhaviṣyati) 12. 306. 11; (Nī. on Bom. Ed. 12. 319. 11: apunarbhāve mokṣe); later, Yājñavalkya meditated on Sarasvatī and when the goddess, adorned with vowels and consonants, flashed before him, he offered her and the god Sūrya a guest offering; he then composed with great delight the entire Śatapatha along with its secrets, and abstracts, and supplements; he taught it to his hundred pupils (tataḥ śatapathaṁ kṛtsnaṁ sarahasyaṁ sasaṁgraham/cakre sapariśeṣaṁ ca harṣeṇa parameṇa ca//kṛtvā cādhyayanaṁ teṣāṁ śiṣyāṇāṁ śatam uttamam) 12. 306. 16-17; Yājñavalkya embraked on this activity keeping before his mind the seed (in the form of the fifteen yajuses which he had obtained from god Sun (daśa pañca ca prāptāni yajūṁṣya arkān mayānagha 12. 306. 21) and goddess Sarasvatī, and on the strength of the authority conferred on him by god Sūrya (bījam etat puraskṛtya devīm caiva sarasvatīm/sūryasya cānubhāvena pravṛtto 'haṁ narādhipa//) 12. 306. 22; he taught the whole of it to his pupils and established fifteen branches of learning revealed to him by Bhāskara (god Sūrya) 12. 306. 24-25; a passage to the effect that ‘if one who knows (the real significance) gives an offering as a gift in the mouth of a Brāhmaṇa it is as good as giving an offering in kindled fire’ is supposed to occur in the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa (śatapathe hi brāhmaṇaṁ bhavati/agnau samiddhe sa juhoti yo vidvān brāhmaṇamukhe dānāhutiṁ juhoti) 12. 329. 8.
