[Advaita-l] Yajna involving animal (header changed to suit the discussion)

[D.V.N.Sarma డి.వి.ఎన్.శర్మ]

We have to look into the Brahmanas (like Satapatha Brahmana) to know what
is ordained in the yajna..
I think there are explicit no nonsense instructions. Why all these
apologetic white washing attempts? What purpose do they serve?

regards,
Sarma.
