FAQs
Ritual is broadened beyond personal or clan deities to include cosmic strata and all beings, cultivating a universal ethic: one’s sustenance is linked to the whole world-system.
Though it references cosmological categories (sun, mid-space), it functions as ācāra (ritual dharma) rather than sarga/pratisarga narration.
Invoking Brahmā–Antarikṣa–Sūrya maps creation, intermediary circulation, and illumination/energy; offering to Viśvedevas and all beings universalizes the sacrifice as a microcosmic yajña.
