Taittiriya Brahmana

The Taittirīya Brāhmaṇa (Sanskrit , meaning 'Brāhmaṇa of the school of Tittri', abbreviated to 'TB') is a commentary on the Krishna Yajurveda. Quotes One should consecrate the (sacred) fire in the Krittikas; ... the Krittikas are the mouth of the Nakshatras (TB 1.1.2.1). The Nakshatras are the houses of the Gods ... the Nakshatras of the Gods begin with the Krittikas and end with Vishakha, whereas the Nakshatras of Yama begin with Anuradha and end with the Apabharani (TB 1.5.2.7). Brihaspati as he was born revealed Tishya Nakshatra (TB 111. 1.1.5). Chitra is the head of Prajapati (the God of the sacrifice or the year), Swati the heart, Hasta the hand Vishakha the thighs, and Anuradha the foot (TB I.5.2.2).' This entire (universe) has been created by Brahma. Men say that the Vaishya class was produced from rig verses. They say that the Yajur Veda is the womb from which the Kshattriya was born. The Sama Veda is the source from which the Brahmins sprang. This word the ancients declared to the ancients. III. 12.9. 2. — in Ambedkar, B. R. 1946. Who Were the Sudras?
