| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Vedic ritual is held by priests who are commissioned to organize it in order to fulfill a sacrificer's desire. Although Vedic literature includes many discussions on relationship between a priest and a sacrificer, it remains unclear how the life or status of a sacrificer is in reality. Besides that, the fact is not sufficiently known that the early Vedic priests admitted a king’s participation as a sacrificer under a quite limited situation only. We can be sure that the alteration of their life or society influences the state of a sacrificer. This study aims to provide with a stable source to clarify the actual condition of their religion and the development of their society.
