The theological discourses are added to it in the form of Brahmana texts; the most important of such texts appended to the White Yajurveda is the Satapatha Brahmana.
The Satapatha Brahmana also tells us of the degradation of the physician gods, and the essential point expressed in the Taittriya Samhita is retained in the Satpatha Brahmana: The Asvins are degraded for their medical career, because this career made them committed to indiscriminate association with all sorts of people.
