three mahāvīra-vessels in the Vedic pravargya

Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This study discusses the functions of the three mahāvīra-vessels in the Vedic pravargya-ritual. Some scholars have described the two vessels that are not employed in the gharma-offering as “spare vessels”, for use if the main vessel breaks, but this is questionable. It is suggested that their primary function is rather linked to the common Vedic theme of triads.
