Vedic Reference
English
Puro-'nuvākyā (‘introductory verse to be recited’) is the
technical term for the address to a god inviting him to partake
of the offering
it was followed by the Yājyā, which accom-
panied the actual oblation.^1 Such addresses are not unknown,
but are rare, according to Oldenberg, ^2 in the Rigveda
subse-
quently they are regular, the word itself occurring in the later
Saṃhitās^3 and the Brāhmaṇas.^4
