| Research Abstract |
This study examines some ritual procedures and materials related to processing fresh milk into five kinds of fermented milk product in the oldest religious texts in India known as"Veda". It focuses on dadhi, atancana, samnayya, amiksa, and payasya in the Brahmanas (ca. 800-600 B. C.) and Srautasutras (ca. 500-B. C.). The ancient Aryas made their living by raising cattle. We can find references to various dairy products in their religious texts. Those products were not only everyday foodstuffs but also principal oblations. The descriptions of them, if not always clear, provide information about the methods used to process them. The main aim of this study is to identify these products exactly and to elucidate their religious meaning.
