Hotṛ
is
the
name
of
one
of
the
oldest
and
most
important
priests
of
the
Vedic
ritual,
the
counterpart
of
the
Zaotar
of
the
Avestan
priesthood.^1
The
word
must
be
derived
from
hu,
‘sacrifice,
’
as
was
held
by
Aurṇavābha
^2
this
indicates
a
time
when
the
Hotṛ
was
at
once
sacrificer
(
the
later
Adhvaryu
)
and
singer.
But
the
functions
were
already
clearly
divided
in
the
Rigveda,
where
the
Hotṛ's
chief
duty
was
the
recitation
of
the
Śastras.
He
was
also
in
the
older
period
often
the
Purohita
of
the
king,
an
office
later
filled
by
the
Brahman
priest.
