³ See Weber, Über die Königsweihe, den Rājāsūya; Hillebrandt, Rituallitteratur, 144-147; Oldenberg, Religion des Veda, 472, 491. The relation of the Śunaḥ-śepa episode formed part of the ritual. That this points to human sacrifice having once formed part of the ritual of the Rājāsūya as supposed by Hillebrandt, loc. cit.; Weber, 47; and Oldenberg, 366, n. 1, seems very doubtful. Cf. Keith, Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society, 1907, 844, 845.
