c11.s2.66

The social relationships arising out of sacrifices as between priests and *yajamāna* constituted one of the happiest features of domestic life. Patañjali refers to these as *srauva sambandha* (I.119) distinguished from those of blood (*yauna*), economic life (*ārtha*), and academic relationships (*maukha*). He also refers to certain priests marked by red turbans on their heads (*lohitoshṇīshā ṛitvijaḥ*, I.1.27 I.826) officiating for the Vrātyas (*Kāt. Śr.*, XXII.3.15).
