“The Yajurveda (Sanskrit: यजुर्वेद, yajurveda, from yajus meaning “prose mantra” and veda meaning “knowledge”) is the Veda of prose mantras. An ancient Vedic Sanskrit text, it is a compilation of ritual offering formulas that were said by a priest while an individual performed ritual actions such as those before the yajna fire. Yajurveda is one of the four Vedas, and one of the scriptures of Hinduism. The exact century of Yajurveda’s composition is unknown, and estimated by scholars to be around 1200 to 1000 BCE, contemporaneous with Samaveda and Atharvaveda.” Link

“Sri Rudram (Sanskrit: श्री रुद्रम्), to which the Chamakam (Sanskrit: चमकम्) is added by scriptural tradition, is a Hindu stotra, hymn dedicated to Rudra (an epithet of Shiva), taken from the Yajurveda (TS 4.5, 4.7).[1][2] Shri Rudram is also known as Sri Rudraprasna, Śatarudrīya, and Rudradhyaya.” Link

AnuvaKa-4, :
Mrugayubhya swanibhyascha vo namo nama.

Salutations and salutations,
To him who hunts animals,
And to him who leads dogs using a rope.

Swabhya swapathibhyascha vo namo nama.

Salutations and salutations,
To him who is a dog,
And to him who protects the dogs.
