Fond of the five sacrifices

 

According to the Sruti the five sacrifices are : Agnihotra,

DarsapUranamAsa, CAturmAsya, Pasu and Soma. According to the Smrtis

they are : Deva, Pitr, Brahman, BhUta and Manusya yajNas. The

PANcarAtrAgama gives the five branches of worship, namely Abhigamana

[approaching the God], UpAdAna [collecting materials for God's

worship], IjyA[worship], SvAdhyAya [repetition of Veda, etc] and Yoga

[meditation]. The KaulAgama enumerates the five kinds of worship :

Kevala, YAmala, Misra, Cakrayuk and Virasamgraha. The NityA. Tr. gives

out five kinds of worship which accomplish all kinds of desire, namely

Madya, etc.

 

The Brhattantrakaumudi and the Mantra-mahodadhi based on the former

mean the five kinds [of women] : Aturi, Sautaki, Daurbodhi,

TrAsIsAdhAna and BhAvanI.

 

Or the five kinds of sacrifices of water, which according to the Sruti

[ChA. Up., V. 3. 3] form the body of a man in the last oblation. The

five places of sacrifices are Somaloka, Dyu, earth, man and woman.

 

Or, paNca, extended, yajNa, the abode of the creators of the world.

She is fond of the five sacrifices, which are:

 

(a) according to the Vedas, agnihotra, darsa-pUrnamAsa, cAturmAsya,

pasu and soma yajnas; or

 

(b) according to the Dharma-Sastras, deva, pitr, brahma, bhUta and

manusya yajnas; or

 

© the five kinds of worship prescribed in Agamas, such as the

Pancaratra Agama and the Kaula Agama, which are sometimes loosely

termed yajnas.
