Vājapeyya

Other

一种祭祀仪式,注疏中有两种解释:一是以柔和悦耳之语亲切问候他人,二是饮苏摩酒并以十七种动物献祭十七次的仪式。

A sacrificial offering; the Commentaries (e.g., ItvA. 75, 76) give it two interpretations:

Greeting people kindly with soft and pleasant speech (peyyavajjam, piyavācatā);

A sacrifice in which Soma (Vāja) is drunk.

In the second seventeen animals are offered seventeen times.
