Let not a Bralnncji ever offer a lion or a tyg«r, 

 or his own blood, or fpirituous liquors to the Goddels 

 Item* If a Brt'Jimeh Sacrifices eitlier a lion, t , 

 tvger, or a man, he goes to hell, and partes but a fhort 

 tune in this world attended with mifery and mil- 

 fortune. 



If a Brahmen offers his own blood, his guilt is equal 

 ro that of the flayer of a Brahmen : and if he offers 

 fpirituous liquors, he is no longer a Brahmen. 



Let not a C/hcftrec offer an antelope : if he does* 

 he incurs the guilt of a Brahmen flayer ; where the 

 Sacrifice of lions, of tygers, or of the human fpe~ 

 cies is required, let the three lirft claffes acl thus : 

 having formed the image of the lion, tyger. or human 

 ihape with butter, pafte, or barley meal, let them fa- 

 orifice the fame as if a living victim, the ax be* 

 ine full invoked by the text ?\'omo, &c. 



Where the facrifice of a number of animals is to 

 take, place it is Sufficient to bring and prefent two or 

 three to the Deity, which ferves as a eonfecration o£ 

 the whole. I have now related to you, O I}7iairavfi,

 iiees : attend now to the different texts to be ufed on
