Guest guest Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 (3) Vashatkaarah - ln the ritualistic portion of the Vedas we find many mantras ending with `vashat' and they are used in pouring devoted and dedicated oblations. Thus the term Vashatkaara means: He who is invoked, and for propitiating whom, the oblations are poured in Vedic ritualism, using mantras ending with vashat. Also Vashatkaara can mean yajna in its association and thus the term in its suggestion can signify `He who is of the form of the Yajna'. In the Upanishads also we find this meaning endorsed when the Upanishad mantra says: " Yajno vai Vishnuh " - Yajna itself is Vishnu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
