v1.c6.s2.5

The reference to the 'figure of man' as a place of co-ordinated function, is made factually and repeatedly in Brāhmaṇism and Buddhism, in sacred texts and works of art. The 'Āpastamba Śrauta Sūtra', XV. 15. 1. for example prescribes that a figure of man be laid out composed of the ritual implements of the Pravargya sacrifice. Three cauldrons form the head, the milk buckets the ears, and other sacrificial instruments and objects are the various parts of the body.
