Gandhinagar, Dec 29 (IANS) A commentary on Yajur Ved, one of the four Vedas that are among the most ancient world literature, is now available in Gujarati.

Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi here Monday released the first Gujarati edition of the 944-page 'Yajurved Bhashya', written in Sanskrit and Hindi by Arya Samaj founder Swami Dayanand Saraswati over a century ago.

The original edition placed emphasis on the Vedic grammar principles, said Acharya Shri Ghyaneshwarji of the Arya Samaj.
