Guest guest Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 kAtyAyana srauta sUtras differentiates between yAga and hOma. " tiShTat homa vaShaTkArapradAnA yAjyapuro(a)nuvAkyAvanto yajatayah " says kAtyAyana. When the yajna karta offers the dravyas to the fire utterng the mantras like " vaShaT " in standing position it is called yAga or yajana. So, vaShat, vauShat etc. are using in Yajna kratus. " upaviShTahomAh swAhAkArpradAnAh juhOtayah " which means when the yajna karta offers the dravyas uttering the " swAhA " in sitting position it is called Homa / Havana. So, Swaha, juhoti etc. are used in Homa. with regards, sriram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
