The Present volume completes the theoretic exposition of the sacrificial ceremonial and thus brings us to the end of our task. The remaining six chapters of the last book of the Brahmana form the so called Brihad-aranyaka, or great forest-treatise, which as one of the ten primitive Upanishads is included in professor F. Max Muller’s translation of those old theosophic treatises published in the present series. The portion of the work contained in this volume forms practically a continuation of the first five Kandas, the intervening five book being devoted to the consideration of the agnikayana or construction of the sacred brick-altar, which had come to be recognised as an important preliminary to the Soma-sacrifice.
