1The initiatory ceremony has reference to the Darsa-pdrazamAsa sacrifice only, and thus serves as an introduction to all the Vikritis, without having to be repeated for each. Sotra CLVII. Or (according to others) the Anv4érambhazty4 should take place (in the Vik7ztis also), because the time (of the Darsa-ptrzamé4sa) does not form an essential part. Commentary. This Sdtra is not quite clear. It shows clearly enough that, according to some authorities, the Anvarambhantya or initiatory ceremony of the Darsa-pdOrzamAsa sacrifice should take place in the Vikrztis also; but why? Because the time has not the character of a sesha, which is said to be a synonym of anga, an essential part of a sacrifice. sOTRAS CLVI-CLIX. 363 When it is said that the Darsa-pQraam4sa should be performed during life, this is not meant as determining the time of the sacrifice. It only means that so long as there is life a man should perform these sacrifices, and that their non-performance would constitute a sin. The former argument, therefore, that the time of the Vikrzti sacrifices would fall within the time of the Prakrzti sacrifice is not tenable. Sétra CLVIII. And again, because there is difference in the undertaking. Commentary. Arambha, the beginning, is explained as the determination to perform a certain sacrifice (darsapOrnamasabhy4m yakshya iti niskayapuraksarah sankalpak). The object of the undertaking in the case of the Darsa-pdrzam4sa sacrifice, as the Prakriti, is simply svarga, in the Vikvitis it may be any kind of desire. Therefore the Anvérambhasiya ceremony of the Darsa-pdrnamasas should be transferred to its Vikritis. This seems to have been the opinion of the same authorities who are referred to in Stra CLVII. The final outcome of the whole controversy, however, is clearly that our Afarya is in favour of omitting the Anvarambhantya in the Vikritis. Anayod# pakshayor anvarambhanzty4bhavapakshasyaiva balavattvam 44aryabhilashitam iti many4mahe. The Anvarambhaziya is not to be considered as an ordinary Anga, but as a special act to fit the sacrificer to perform the Darsa-pdirzam4sa and to perform it through the whole of his life. Sotra CLIX. For every object (new sacrifice) let him bring forward the fire (let him perform the Agniprazayana, the fetching of the Ahavantya from the Garhapatya fire). When the sacrifice is finished 364 APASTAMBA’S YAGNA-PARIBHASHA-SOTRAS. the fire becomes again ordinary fire, as when the (divine) fire has returned (to the firesticks). Commentary.
2When the sacrifice is finished 364 APASTAMBA’S YAGNA-PARIBHASHA-SOTRAS. the fire becomes again ordinary fire, as when the (divine) fire has returned (to the firesticks). Commentary. The fire for a sacrifice is supposed to be set apart or consecrated (sAstriya), but it is so for a special sacrifice only, and when that sacrifice is ended, it is supposed to become like ordinary fire again. Arthais prayogana, the sacrifice for which the fire is intended (agnisAdhyavihitakarmanushzanam; tasya tasya vihitasya karmavosnush7hanartham garhapaty4dibhya 4havantyddyagnim pramayet). The commentator remarks that there are two Agnis, the one who is visible, the other who is the god. Now while the divine Agni leaves the coals and ascends or is absorbed again in the two firesticks (arani), the other remains like ordinary kitchen fire. See on Samarohana, Weber, Ind. Stud.
