Vedic Reference
English
Bṛhaspati-sava is the name of a sacrifice by which, according
to the Taittirīya Brāhmaṇa, ^1 the priest who desired to become
a Purohita obtained that office. According to the Āśvalāyana
Śrauta Sūtra, ^2 it was the sacrifice to be performed by a priest
after the Vājapeya, while the king performed the Rājasūya. In
the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa, ^3 on the other hand, the Bṛhaspati-
sava is identified with the Vājapeya
but such identity is
clearly not primitive.^4
