Shatapatha Brahmana
The Shatapatha Brahmana ('Brahmana of a hundred paths') is a Sanskrit prose text of the White Yajurveda, composed in the first half of the 1st millennium BCE and traditionally attributed to Yajnavalkya. It explains the Vedic sacrificial rites in detail and contains myths such as Manu's flood and the eastward journey of Videgha Mathava, which records the spread of Vedic culture into Videha.
