Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
The Yajurveda is a collection of prose mantras used in worship ceremonies. Its name is derived from the Sanskrit words "yajus" (worship) and "veda" (knowledge). It is a collection of ritual-offering phrases said by a priest as someone performed ritual actions like standing in front of the yajna fire, and it was written in the old Vedic Sanskrit language. The "black" or "dark" (Krishna) and the "white" or "bright" (Shukla) Yajurveda are the two primary divisions of the Yajur Veda. The "well-arranged, clear" Yajurveda is referred to as "white," and the "un-arranged, jumbled, motley collection" of verses is referred to as "black." The white Yajurveda only has two recensions that have survived. The Black Yajurveda has four surviving recensions.
