According to the Āśvalāyana Śrauta Sūtra,² it was the sacrifice to be performed by a priest after the Vājapeya, while the king performed the Rājasūya. In the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa,³ on the other hand, the Bṛhaspati-sava is identified with the Vājapeya; but such identity is clearly not primitive.⁴ - [Previous: v2.c4.s2.214](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s2.214) - [Next: v2.c4.s2.216](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s2.216) - [Up: v2.c4.s2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s2.215](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s2.215) · Pramāṇa
