agniṣṭoma Tatpur. m. (-maḥ) ¹ The name of a sacrifice or rather

a series of offerings to fire for five days, to be celebrated

in the spring. It is the first and principal part of the Jyo-

tiṣṭoma, one of the great sacrifices in which especially the

juice of the Soma plant is offered for the purpose of ob-

taining Swarga or heaven. It is nitya or obligatory for

the complete performance of the Jyotiṣṭoma and so far

considered sometimes identical with it, while the other

six parts or Somasansthās of this sacrifice are considered

as kāmya and anitya, voluntary and supererogatory. (See

atyagniṣṭoma, ukthya, ṣoḍaśin, atirātra, aptoryāma and

vājapeya.) The Agniṣṭoma consists of three distinct parts

or savanas, the prātaḥsavana with five, the mādhyandina-

savana with five and the tṛtīya-savana with two stotras.

² The name of the Sāman or Sāmaveda verse called Yajnā-

yajnīya (which begins with the words yajñāyajñā vo agnaye &c.

see Sāmaveda I. 1. 4. 1.), because it closes the ceremonies

of the Agniṣṭoma in the tṛtīya-savana. ³ The name of the

first day in the Sattra Pañchadaśarātra. ⁵ A proper name,

the son of the sixth Manu, Chākṣuṣa, by Naḍvalā, also
