All modelled rites

consecration (dīkṣā)

The consecration that makes a man fit to sacrifice, treated in the Atharvaveda as a power in its own right and in VS 19.30 as what a vow earns.

Stated order

What the Samhita text numbers in its own words. Three such steps exist in the whole corpus, all on the soma pressing.

Not yet modelledThis is the Samhita-numbered layer, and 3 such edges exist in the entire graph, all on the soma pressing, whose morning, midday and third libations the text itself numbers. No other rite in this corpus states an order in its own words and none was invented for it -- elaborate procedure is Brahmana and Sutra material. Read `procedure` before concluding the rite has no recorded sequence: an empty `steps` is an unbuilt Samhita layer, not an unstructured rite.

Procedure the sutras print

A different claim from the order above, and a different source. Each work below numbers its own sequence independently, so these are located steps rather than one procedure — they do not run together.

Scope note

7 source work(s) each record their own sequence for this rite, numbered from 1 independently, so the groups do not compose into one procedure. 181 of the 181 steps listed state a position without printing the run it falls in. The evidence is Srautasutra and Grhyasutra, never a Samhita passage, and it is a different claim from `steps` -- which is why it is a different field. The cited works have no node in this graph.

What this ritual model covers

AN INVENTORY OF 103 RITES, NOT A TAXONOMY. The Ritual class holds 103 nodes against a corpus that names considerably more, so a rank in this list is a rank within 103 and says nothing about Vedic ritual as a whole. Two step layers exist and they are not interchangeable. The Samhita layer holds 3 numbered steps in the entire graph, all on the soma pressing, whose morning, midday and third libations the text itself numbers. The procedural layer holds 3,121 steps over 103 rites, read out of Srautasutras and Grhyasutras rather than Samhita passages, and 94% of them state a position without printing the run it falls in -- so a procedure list is not a complete procedure. All 80 apparatus edges are TIER_D curation, and a rite's 'purpose' is what a curator says it is for, not a purpose clause quoted from a passage.

How this rite was modelled4

  • AN INVENTORY OF 103 RITES, NOT A TAXONOMY. The Ritual class holds 103 nodes against a corpus that names considerably more, so a rank in this list is a rank within 103 and says nothing about Vedic ritual as a whole. Two step layers exist and they are not interchangeable. The Samhita layer holds 3 numbered steps in the entire graph, all on the soma pressing, whose morning, midday and third libations the text itself numbers. The procedural layer holds 3,121 steps over 103 rites, read out of Srautasutras and Grhyasutras rather than Samhita passages, and 94% of them state a position without printing the run it falls in -- so a procedure list is not a complete procedure. All 80 apparatus edges are TIER_D curation, and a rite's 'purpose' is what a curator says it is for, not a purpose clause quoted from a passage.

    measured

  • Complete, and the size of the result is the finding: 3 steps, on 1 of the 8 rites. order_basis = 'SOURCE_STATED_ORDINAL' because the soma pressings are named morning, midday and third in the text itself; no other rite in this corpus states an order, and none was invented for it. Elaborate procedure is Brahmana and Sutra material, so a query about ritual dependency structure is answerable here only in this one instance, and question 39 is otherwise not answerable from the Samhitas.

    ritual_step_sequence

  • Complete: all 8 rites and all 71 edges. Every edge is TIER_D -- the project's judgement that a passage describes a rite, not a statement the passage makes about itself -- and the volume is the honest measure of how much procedure the Samhitas carry: 71 passages out of 22,537. `examples` is capped at 6 per row and `passages` gives the true total beside it. The Yajurvedic majority in several rows is real: the YV is the liturgical collection.

    rituals_described_in_passages

  • The Anukramani names a 'devata' for every hymn, and 57 of the 214 are not gods: 22 human patrons and seers (Vasistha, Visvamitra, Brbu the carpenter), 7 danastuti labels naming the gift rather than a recipient ('praise of the gift of Sudas son of Pijavana'), and 28 abstractions ruled not to name an addressee, each with its reason recorded. This response excludes all 57 and KEEPS the 5 labels ruled UNDECIDED (Atma, Annam, Brahma, Rati, Saci), because an undecided label removed is a decision made by default. Ask with population=all_ascriptions to see the Anukramani's slot as it stands, with each row's ruling stated.
