§210. The Rājasūya is comprised of three distinct parts; the first is a series of preliminary sacrifices, the second is the \*Abhishechanīya\*, ‘the sprinkling’ or ‘the anointing’, the third are a number of post-anointing ceremonies. Out of the three, the Abhishechanīya is the most important; and, perhaps, in practice the rites and formulæ of it alone were considered indispensable at normal coronations.
