Essays on Vedic and Indo-European Culture
This book is about the cultural and religious patterns as these may be
reconstructed on a twofold basis: Vedic poets views as known from the
Rgveda and some old Indo-European literary sources examined in a
comparative perspective.
In its main bulk offers a novel approach to the Vedic theory of sacrifice
from the point of view of the Vedic priest as an individual social type
whose doing was conditioned by the conflict between the groups practising
sacrifice as well as the tension between the patron of the sacrifice and
the officiant. It also envisages the integration of the warrior into the
sacrificial ritual and suggests a solution to the problem of the daksina
(commonly called sacrificial priest’s salary) interpreted as a
materialisation of the relation between the priest, the gods invoked and
the patrons of sacrifice, the daksina’s function being to denote the value
of the poetic word in the prayer.
