The Religion and Philosophy of the Veda and Upanishads v2.c30.s15.9

v2.c30.s15.9

The offerings of the third day are followed by the final bath, in which is performed the curious rite of an offering on the head of a man already referred to.² The fees are given in various forms : the conquered land is to be divided : even the wives of the sacrificer are sometimes demanded : the Adhvaryu apparently obtains a daughter in wedlock, and also the fourth wife.
