The Brāhmaṇas practised the Vedic religion of sacrifice for which special sylvan retreats were provided [II. 1]. In the royal palace was provided a separate place for the performance of sacrifice (*ijyāsthānam*). Ascetics of various types were abroad. They are described as *Siddhatāpasa-pravrajita*, while there was Tapovana for the *Tapasvī* [IV. 4; II. 1].
