SACRAMENT,
s.
 संस्कारः, महायज्ञः. For the twelve sanskāras or
sacred symbolical rites, see RITE. The following are the
five mahā-yajnas, or great sacraments of the Hindūs (as
explained in Manu III. 70. et. seq.), appointed to be per-
formed every day by the Grihastha, or house-keeper, for
the sake of expiating the sin incurred by the involuntary
destruction of minute living creatures. They refer re-
spectively to what is due to five objects, viz. himself,
the gods, his fore-fathers, spirits or ghosts, and men or
guests. 1. Study of Scripture, with prayer and medita-
tion, called ब्रह्मयज्ञः or अहुतः. 2. Offering oblations to
the gods in fire, called देवयज्ञः or हुतः. 3. Offering libations
of water and cakes to the manes of deceased ancestors,
called पितृयज्ञः or प्राशितं or श्राद्धं. 4. Casting the residue
of oblations on the ground or in water, as an offering
to spirits or goblins, called भूतयज्ञः or बलियज्ञः or प्रहुतः or
आहुतः or बलिः
m.
 5. Receiving guests, and especially
Brahmans, with hospitality, called नृयज्ञः or मनुप्पयज्ञः or
ब्राह्म्यहुतं or ब्राह्म्यं or ब्रह्महुतं. The Viṣnu-Purāna adds two
other sacraments, viz. ‘propagation of offspring, ’ प्रजापतियज्ञः,
and ‘observance of truth, ’ सत्ययज्ञः, but these are com-
paratively modern additions. The Christian idea of a sa-
crament may be expressed by संस्कारः or ख्रीष्टप्रकल्पितसंस्कारः
as, ‘the sacrament of baptism, ’ जलसंस्कारः or जलसेचनसंस्कारः
or मज्जनसंस्कारः
‘of the Lord's Supper, ’ ख्रीष्टभोजनसंस्कारः
or ख्रीष्टमृन्युरमरणार्थकसंस्कारः.
