Yājñavalkya, as, m. (fr. yajña-valkya), N. of an ancient sage frequently quoted as an authority in the Śata-patha-Brāhmaṇa, (the first reputed teacher of the Vājasaneyi-saṃhitā or White Yajur-veda, revealed to him by the Sun, cf. Taittirīya-saṃhitā, Vāja- saneyi-saṃhitā); N. of the author of a celebrated code of laws (by some identified with the preceding sage; this code is only second in importance to that of Manu, and with its most celebrated commentary, the Mitākṣara, is the leading authority of the Mithilā school; it is much later than Manu, and probably in its present form dates from about the first century of our era); the family of Yājñavalkya; (am), n., N. of an Upaniṣad; (as, kī, am), relating to Yājñavalkya, composed by or derived from Yājña- valkya.
