AR form of the manual rite nor of the object to be attained, save in the most general way. It may, however, be observed that; though these objects may be positive, such as causing a person in the house to be of weight in the councils of the community, the aim is far more often the averting of evil, such as a violent death, injury to the crops, damage by fire, and so on. It is clear that many sacrifices, such as those for long life, prosperity, and health, though apparently positive, are in reality negative, and are intended to effect their object by averting the evil influences which hinder the good fortune or threaten the life of the saecrificer. A certain number of sacrifices appear to depend for their efficacy on secondary oral rites over and above those of the satka proper. If a child, for example, is sick, rice may be sacrificed for it, and given to a passing stranger or some old person. The meaning of the gift is not, as might be sur- mised, that the sickness of the child is to be transferred to the stranger or old person; on the contrary, the cure, in some cases, 18 said to depend on the prayers offered by the recipient of the rice or other object sacrificed. On the other hand, when a rich man wishes to â sacrifice â a print gown, he must wear it for several days and then per- f{orm the rite after laying it on an anthill. Here the gown is first of all brought into intimate association with the sacrificer, and the validity of the sacrifice is enhanced by the choice of an anthill as the scene of the rite, for the krifi are believed to have their abode in anthills; at any rate, the anthill being a frequent object in magical rites, 1t seems clear that some virtue is believed to go out of it into the garment, and thus indirectly benefit the man who has worn she garment. We find an entirely different class of ideas in the renuncia- tion satka, in which a person gives up his most cherished possession in orderâ to obtain a wish. The idea is hardly reconcilable with that of the efficacy of the oral rite, and it may well be that the oral rite by which it is accompanied 18 a later aceretion, due to Mohammedan influence.
