v2.c23.317
Whether such a ceremony was performed in the Vedic ages cannot be ascertained with certainty. Bhār. gṛ. I. 28 expressly⁵⁹⁸ refers to the Vedic verse (Ṛg IV. 75. 17 or Tai. S. IV. 6. 4. 5) as indicative of the practice of Caula in Vedic times 'where arrows fall together like boys having many tufts of hair'. Manu II. 35 also has in view this Vedic verse.
