Chapters 12 and 25, quoted by L. Alsdorf, \*Beiträge zur Geschichte von Vegetarismus und Rinderverehrung\* (Wiesbaden, 1962), 47f. It is interesting to note that the Jaina monk appears on the place of sacrifice to ask for a share of the sacrificial meal. His upbraiding of the sacrificing brahmins strangely recalls the figure of the "reviler" in the mahāvrata (\*PB\* 5. 5. 13, see also below, chap. 5, sect. 5). It is tempting to see in the monk's appearance on the place of sacrifice a distant echo of the preclassical pattern of ritual. - [Previous: c19.s3.85](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.heesterman-1985.c19.s3.85) - [Next: c19.s3.87](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.heesterman-1985.c19.s3.87) - [Up: c19.s3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.heesterman-1985.c19.s3) ## Linked texts (1) - [Pañcaviṃśabrāhmaṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.pancavimsa) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.heesterman-1985.c19.s3.86](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.heesterman-1985.c19.s3.86) · Pramāṇa
