- childbirth (sūṣā)social riteDelivery as an occasion needing ritual help: the birth itself, the afterbirth, and the charm for causing conception.15linked passages
- assembly (sabhā)social riteThe assembly and the gathering, "the two daughters of Prajāpati", as an occasion a man needs help at: to be favoured in, to be fit for, to speak what is pleasant in, and to have the witchcraft made against him there undone. sabhā́ and sámiti are folded together because AVS 7.12.1 and 15.9.2 name them as a pair.14linked passages
- funerary rites (pitṛyāṇa)social riteThe disposal of the dead and the road they take: the cremation ground and the fathers' path, as against the ancestors themselves.10linked passages
How this list was scoped1
`passage_count` counts DISTINCT passages reaching the object through the lexical, conceptual and ritual predicates this surface counts, and is the same figure the detail view reports. It is NULL, never 0, where no passage reaches it: the mention layer's measured recall is 0.8857, so a null is a lower bound and not an assertion that the corpus is silent.
