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. - [Previous: v2.c4.s5.281](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s5.281) - [Next: v2.c4.s5.283](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s5.283) - [Up: v2.c4.s5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s5.282](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s5.282) · Pramāṇa
