They were divided into two distinct parts, each consisting of six months of thirty days each ; in the midst of both was the Vishuvan, ie equator or central day, cutting the INTRODUCTION. 47 whole Sattra into two halves. The ceremonies were in both the halves exactly the same; but they were in the latter half performed in an inverted order.

Page 197 - Brahmar/as and the Sutras, yet, without having seen the actual site on which the sacrifices are offered, the altars constructed for the occasion, the instruments employed by different priests — the tout-ensemble, in fact, of the sacred rites — the reader seems to deal with words, but with words only, and is unable to reproduce in his imagination the acts and facts which were intended to be conveyed by them. Various attempts were made to induce some of the more learned Brahmans to edit and translate... Page 209 - The greater portion of them is simply twaddle, and what is worse, theological twaddle.

Among the Aryan nation, it has hitherto been considered as a general rule that poetry precedes prose. Now the Yajyäs and Nivids are prose, and though Dr. Page 198 - British rule, it has already died out.' Dr. Haug succeeded, however, at last in procuring the assistance of a real Doctor of Divinity, who had not only performed the minor Vedic sacrifices, such as the full and new moon offerings, but had officiated at some of the great Soma sacrifices, now very rarely to be seen in any part of India.
