¹⁰ AGS. iv. 8. 1 ff.; PGS. iii. 8. Hubert and Mauss (*Année sociol.* ii. 93) by combining with this account the very different one of HGS. ii. 8, 9; ApGS. xix. 13—xx. 19, conclude that the rite consists of bringing into the victim the divinity of Rudra and then banishing it from the village. But this is wholly illegitimate: the animal is not divine at all in AGS. or PGS., and is not banished in HGS. or ApGS. That the rite is known to the Rigveda is wholly unproved.
