INTRODUCTION.
THE contents of the third and fourth books of the Satapatha-brahmaaa form an important chapter of its dogmatic explanation of the sacrificial ceremonial. This portion of the work treats of the ordinary forms of the most sacred of Vedic sacrificial rites, the Soma-sacrifice. The exposition of the Soma-ritual also includes an account of the animal offering which, though it may be performed as an independent sacrifice, more usually constitutes an integral part of the Saumya-adhvara.

INTRODUCTION.
THE contents of the third and fourth books of the Satapatha-brahmaaa form an important chapter of its dogmatic explanation of the sacrificial ceremonial. This portion of the work treats of the ordinary forms of the most sacred of Vedic sacrificial rites, the Soma-sacrifice. The exposition of the Soma-ritual also includes an account of the animal offering which, though it may be performed as an independent sacrifice, more usually constitutes an integral part of the Saumya-adhvara.
Part II, 1885. Second of the five volumes Eggeling published between 1882 and 1900. The general introduction — the professionalisation of the priesthood, the rise of the Purohita, the reading of ritual complexity as an interest — appears once, in Part I, and is not repeated here.
