Dear TBT ...

You wrote:

the absence of a vedic text to support their position, the text ‘Four paths . . .’ must refer to rites, namely, Is.t.i sacrifices, animal sacrifices, Soma sacrifices, and ghee offering

I would like to clear this nagging doubt in me..by animal sacrfice does it mean the animal is killed for a yagna?

Can you kindly shed some light on this cos Swami Dayanand Saraswati of Arya Samaj said no animal gets killed but its a different meaning in Vedic Sanskrit but elsewhere I have read that animal sacrifice for Yagna did take place and it was stopped by Lord Buddha.

Any idea?
