Preface

This is the 3rd volume from our work on the Vedic Traditions and we do not give a large introduction. The work goes on, where volume 2 has ended. We discuss in this volume the great public rituals as found in the ancient Vedic texts. The first ritual, which we discuss here, is the Vajapeya Ceremony, which is a form of the Soma Worship, but we group it for practical reason under the great public rituals.
