Definition

One of the four Vedas, 'the text that focuses on the details relating to sacrifices' (Svoboda). ⚑ Its UPAVEDA (auxiliary body of knowledge) is the Sthāpatya Veda, which details sizes/proportions for fire-altars and ritual implements and 'is often considered to be Vāstu's progenitor' — so the Yajur Veda is the Vedic parent of the Vāstu lineage in Svoboda's account. Named, not quoted, in this chapter.
Traditional

Prāṇa relevance

Root-of-lineage backstop: the Vedic sacrificial science from which (via Sthāpatya Veda) Vāstu's altar-proportioning descends; not itself a prāṇa-physiology claim. Not yet traced.

    Svoboda states that Sthāpatya Veda is the upaveda (auxiliary body of knowledge) of the Yajur Veda, the Veda of sacrificial detail; Sthāpatya Veda details altar/implement sizes and proportions and 'is often considered to be Vāstu's progenitor.' The Vāstu lineage thus derives, via Sthāpatya Veda, from the Yajur Veda. This edge records the NAMED Vedic parentage (the upaveda relation), per the schema's 'derived-from A→B (rule/calculation originates in text/principle).'
