As one Brāhmaṇa puts it, the sacrifice leads the way to heaven; it is followed by the _dakshiṇā_, or fee paid by the sacrificer to the sacrificant priests, which of course materially strengthens the efficacy of the sacrifice; and third comes the sacrificer, holding fast to the _dakshiṇā_. ❋ Lionel D.

Ṛig-vēda they have added a Yajur-vēda for the use of the sacrificant orders of priests and a Sāma-vēda or hymnal containing Ṛigvēdic hymns arranged for the chanting of choristers. ❋ Lionel D. Barnett (N/A)

As a physician, the exact nature of the ceremony might possibly interest you, Dr. Petrie, but a technical account of the two incisions which the sacrificant employs in his self-dismissal, might, on the other hand, bore Mr. Nayland Smith. ❋ Sax Rohmer (1921)

Who would have heard of all those great soldiers, the wise and the heroes of the earth, if they had not been placed amongst the stars and deified by the oblation of praise which has lighted the fire on the altar of the heart of illustrious poets and other singers, so that usually, the sacrificant, the victim and the sanctified deity, all mounted to the skies, through the hand and the vow of a worthy and lawful priest? ❋ Giordano Bruno (1574)

"quidam sane etiam Tellurem praeesse nuptiis tradunt; nam et in auspiciis nuptiarum invocatur: cui etiam virgines, vel cum ire ad domum mariti coeperint, vel iam ibi positae, diversis nominibus vel ritu sacrificant." ❋ W. Warde Fowler (1884)

A real vicarious suffering is not found in these cases or in any ancient sacrificial ritual -- the victim is not supposed to bear the sin of the sacrificant. [ ❋ Crawford Howell Toy (1877)
