### [v1.c3.s16.159](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s16.159)

Jartila, ‘wild sesamum,’ is mentioned in the Taittirīya Saṃhitā (v. 4, 3, 2) as an unsuitable sacrificial offering. In the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa (ix. 1, 1, 3) sesamum seeds are regarded as combining the qualities of cultivation (viz., edibility) with those of wild growth (because they are produced on unploughed land).
