The Religion and Philosophy of the Veda and Upanishads v1.c19.s7.57

v1.c19.s7.57

It should be added that in the list of sacrifices given in the Yajurveda¹ we find some animal offerings to such entities as the bull-king and the tiger-king: these would be worth consideration only if it were possible to take seriously all the lists of offerings prescribed in these cases: considerations of common sense enable us to relegate many of them to the realms of priestly fancy.
