KRISHNA YAJURVEDA NOUN
yvk.1.1 | c The Vedi hath come to the sacrificial straw, Made by Manu, fashioned with the Svadha call. |
yvk.1.5 | m Unbroken is the cauldron, sprinkling abundantly, It hath returned to that whence it came; The kindling wood, the Vedi, and all the enclosing sticks Attend the life of the sacrifice. |
yvk.1.6 | He lets the calf go free and puts the pot on the fire: he puts down (the rice), and beats the millstones together; he scatters (the grains) and collects the potsherds; the cake [3] he puts on the fire and the melted butter; he throws the clump of g ass, and gathers it in; he surrounds the Vedi and he girds the wife (of the sacrificer); he puts in place the anointing waters and the melted butter. |
yvk.1.7 | There is good grass and good water where the strew and the waters are [2]; the Vedi is the abode of the sacrificer; in that he places the full bowl within the Vedi, he establishes good grass and good water in his own abode. |
yvk.1.8 | There is (an offering) to Mitra and Brhaspati; in the milk of a white (cow) with a white calf which has curdled itself, and in butter which has churned itself, in a dish of Asvattha wood [2] with four corners (made) of a branch which has fallen of itself, he should scatter husked and unhusked rice grains; the husked ones in the milk are Brhaspati s, the unhusked in the butter are Mitra s; the Vedi must be self made, the strew self cut, the kindling stick self made; the sacrificial fee is the white (cow) with a white calf. |
yvk.2.4 | He unites (them) on a black antelope skin; verily he makes the offering; he unites within the Vedi, for accomplishment. |
yvk.6.2 | So the sacrifice bore off the sacrifice for them; in that they won the wealth of the Asuras which was to be won (vdyam), that alone is the reason why the Vedi is so called. |
yvk.6.2 | So they won the earth, and in that they won it therefore is the Vedi so called [4]. |
yvk.6.2 | All this earth is the Vedi, but they measure off and sacrifice on so much as they deem they can use. |
