ÂPASTAMBA'S YAGÑA-PARIBHÂSHA-SOTRAS.
would be looked upon as most like the Ågya in the Darsa-purnamasa. Âmikshå, a preparation of milk, would come nearest to the Samnayya, which is a mixture of sour and sweet milk.
SOTRA CXXIII. Offerings for one deity are vikaras of the Ågneya.
Commentary. In the Darsa-parnamâsa, which is the prakriti of the ishtis, the purodà sa for Agni is meant for one deity. Hence all offerings to one deity in the vikritis follow the general rules of the Agneya puroda sa, as described in the Darsa-parnamåsa, for instance, the karu for Surya, the Dvadasa-kapala for Savitri.
Sotra CXXIV. Offerings for two deities are vikaras of the Agnishomiya.
Commentary. They must, however, be vegetable offerings, because the purodà sa for Agni-Shomau is a vegetable offering. As an instance, the Ågnavaishnava Ekâda sakapāla is quoted. Agnishomîya has a short a, but the first a in ågnavaishnava is long.
SOTRA Cxxv. Offerings for many deities are vikaras also of the Aindragna.
Commentary. The ka in bahudevatas ka is explained by the commentary as intended to include the Ågnavaishnaya also. Any offering intended for more than one deity may be considered as intended for many deities.
SÛTRA CXXVI. They are optionally vikâras of the Aindragna.
