gaining one's favour, conciliation, propitiation
(आ-प्रि-
यस्), propitiatory verses
N. of certain invocations
addressed to a series of deified objects in order, and
said to be introductory to the animal sacrifice. Accord-
ing to others, the objects propitiated by these hymns
are the real āprīs or आप्रियस्
whence the hymns
themselves are called आप्री hymns. The objects in-
voked are in a series of twelve verses, as follows:
1. Su-samiddha (or the fuel)
2. and 3. Tanūnapāt
and Narāśaṃsa (these are sometimes invoked in one
verse as mystic names of fire)
4. The divine being
who bears the invocations to the gods (see under इड्)
5. Barhis (or the sacred grass)
6. The doors of the
chambers in which the sacrifice is offered
7. Night
and dawn
8. The two divine beings, sometimes
called Pracetasas, who preside over and protect the
sacrificial rite
9. The three goddesses, Ilā (see under
इडा), Sarasvatī (goddess of eloquence), and Mahī (a
form of Bhāratī or speech)
10. Tvaṣṭṛ (the maker
or creator)
11. Vanas-pati (the tree or wooden column
to which the victim is tied)
12. Svāhā (the exclama-
tion used in inviting the gods to the sacrifice when
finally offered in the fire). All these are by Sāy. re-
garded as forms of Agni. See Ṛg-veda I. 13.
