Funeral rites in the Vedic religion: the Paippalāda vs. Śaunaka rituals
This workshop presents the funeral chants of the Atharvaveda (Bhattacharya 2011, Whitney 1905). After an introduction into the relevant Vedic religious texts, we discuss a special funerary ritual of the Paippalāda School and compare it to the rites of the Śaunaka School.
