Jyotiṣṭoma (ज्योतिष्टोम):—, hierzu bemerkt [WEBER], dass jede der ursprünglich drei, dann vier, fünf und auch sieben Saṃsthā als Jy. gefeiert werden kann, so dass dabei die vier Jyotis genannten Stoma (trivṛt, pañcadaśa, saptadaśa, ekaviṃśa) zur Anwendung kommen. In der Regel wird aber nur die erste Saṃsthā, der Agniṣṭoma, als Jy. gefeiert, weshalb das Wort auch für Agniṣṭoma gebraucht werden kann.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
