Dear Anilkumar and others,
 
I do not understand " maghama and segama" . What it is? Is there reference to killing of cows in Kaushika Grihya sutra.
 
If it is there, I am not surprised.
 
I am reading the book of G. U. Thite (from Pune) on Sacrifices in BraahmaNa-texts. In this book there are names of hundreds of sacrifices-new and new-some very strange--hundreds of saamans--unlimited terminology in connection with Yadjn'as and killing of animals. There are names of deities we worship nowadays.  Are BraahmaNa-granthas part of Vedas also?
Thanks. N.R.Joshi

This subject of 'Maghamase Gavamiva' had been raised earlier. Kaushika Grihya Sutra belonging to Atharva Veda has this in the section on Vivaha Samskara:

   qÉbÉÉxÉÑ WûlrÉliÉå aÉÉuÉÈ TüsaÉÑlÉÏwÉÑ urÉѽiÉ CÌiÉ ÌuÉ¥ÉÉrÉiÉå qÉ…¡ûsÉÇ cÉ ||

    Cows are killed in the month of Magha and the bride is taken away in the month of Phālguni

Namaste

 

Samskrutham is a ‘ peculiar and unique language’ where modification of a single sound or accent, join or break of a word, sound can toss the meaning from south to North ! And here is  a  debate to prove this as a classic example.

 

Especially when the ‘Standard Voicing of the Samkrutha Varna-Akshara- Swara ’ has suffered mutilations  of voiced pronunciation through regional languages , scripting, spelling diversities and printer-introduced modifications !  Add to this, the regional historical deviations of interpretation, practice diversities and all topped  by ‘ motives in presenting Dharma-Kshetra Nation’s history as a Religion -Divided community’.  

 

While I am not for or against any specific interpretation here on  < Cow- Killing /Beef consuming and related sacredness or otherwise debates>, I have reservations on the methodologies preferred to cite- split and interpret a given piece of <printed text>, as < evidence supreme>.   The understanding of the  Samskruth language pedagogy and Yajna-Vedic practicing tradition have great bearing on ‘ How one constructs the value of Vedic Tradition using a ‘ preferentially projected model of understanding the Language of vedic document and mounting a theology –history, ritual  and cultural  practice around it : be it with motive or otherwise.  Once such technicalities surface out on global forums and ‘ open debating issues’, it may be relevant to take note of ‘some dissenting –divergent (traditional ?)  views’ also as a part of the discourse  here.

 

Here below is my reasoning for this statement.

 

Given Statement:    माघमां सेगवा इव।  or  माघमासे गवामिव।

Challenging issue/s:   (a)   What is the correct reading? Is there an anuswaara ? Is the word :  मासे for मांसे ? (b) What would be the meaning of the word the base word ‘Go’ in the simile ‘गवामिव’ ?  Why connect ‘Go’  to the month   माघ :  A season of great significance detailed in Puranas for worship of Vishnu. ( Maagha -Maasa   is seasons part of Shishira Ritu ; when Sun is transiting in Saggitaurus and Capricorn : Moon is in star Magha on full  moon day ; Matching to Dec-Jan/Jan/Feb of current Gregorian calendar.  ) .

 

 

 

Plausible interpretations:   Follow the existing tradition of sacred practices in maagha maasam: No Cow Killing is the conclusion.

 

Faith and Cultural  belief about Maagha-Maasa : http://indianmandirs.blogspot.in/2014/01/significance-of-magha-maasam.html ; http://www.teluguone.com/devotional/content/magha-puja-rituals---snan-59-26996.html  ;

snAnam tulArkE  kAvEryAm  prayAgE  mAgha majjanam ;  sEtAvardhOdayE snAnam kOTi janma tapa: phalam  (http://www.ibiblio.org/sripedia/oppiliappan/archives/may05/msg00121.html    )

 

Follow Classical writers and other resources: The ‘ add-on anuswara’ is an ‘ interpolation of historic time period, at least after Sayana ?! and pushed by Pune teams and scholars to the western academia?   - Mixed view : Brahmana Sampradaya is not for cow killing; Generic Hindu Society – Cow killing /Beef was optional under the changed demography of India after muslim and Christian mix.

 

(The history of beef in India – Page 203 to 205 ) - http://www.rarebooksocietyofindia.org/book_archive/196174216674_10153573076876675.pdf - (Published by Gita Press, Gorakhpur on 14th January, 1971) Second Edition-11 00 copies ; Published by Shree Krishna Janmasthan Seva-Sansthan, Mathura on Phalgun Purnima V. S. 2039 (28th March 1983)

 

 

 

Language Tools  and contexs used:  Classical dictionary which provides multiple meanings for the word ‘Go’; Purana resources ; Nirukta. Historic practices.

 

Outcome of such an exercise:   The entire practicing tradition has ‘ lost’ the meaning of the source text and directive  < from vedic texts: Kaushika Grihya Sutra belonging to Atharva Veda on Vivaha Samskara ;   > and on what needs to be done in maagha-maasam;  

OR

Academicians have a free Play and Say on the meaning of Veda < G. U. Thite (from Pune) on Sacrifices in BraahmaNa-texts >  discarding the norms of academic integrity and standards of constructing the text in specific  language.

 

In both cases, the causality is understanding the  ‘history’ of the tradition, and the value of the directive.  

 

Unresolved Question that needs to be answered by Samskruth Language Modelers:  What criterions should be set in such cases to decide the ‘Taatparya-Artha of Text and have clarity on the pada-artha’ ?    Will it be reliance on Practice, Principle of the Shadanga-Vedanga Yoga Samskrutha Paddhati, where Nirukta plays a greater role than the kosha and dictionary providing ‘meaning in other language’?  How would one work on (Mahabhaarata ?-) ‘Taatparya –Nirnaya’? Padaartha-Nirnaya ?  - use of a text to justify a ‘food practice for taste of palate and promotion of a politicized abattoir business’   or ‘ Cow protection-donations’ ?

 

What could have been the relevance of Patanjali starting the Gramamr discourse with the select word ‘Go’ and asking the question : atha Gaurityatra kah shabdah’?

 

Or should this debate be stuck in the old groove of ‘Caste-Cow- Curry’ frame of Hinduism?

 

Thanks in advance for the further guidance  from the scholars.

 

Regards

The root Han is used in sense to send inSaurasjtra. .Do meaning of hanyante can be taken as one should send cows in Magh and maidens may bs sent in Phalguni.

Though it is there in Dhatupatha, it is not seen used in गत्यर्थ.

In this quotation I think this is misinterpreted unless it is supported by reliable commentary.

Thanks. But in "sangha" and "sanghaata" etc the root 'han' has to be गत्यर्थ only. 
In the given passage as I suppose it will depend on the accent and context.Regards.

Also under 3.4.73 दाशगोघ्नौ सम्प्रदाने, Pandita Ishvarachandra in his commentary Chandralekha explains गोघ्नः as गां दुग्धादिकं हन्ति प्राप्नुवन्ति यस्मै स गोघ्नोऽतिथिः (Ashtadhyayi with Chandralekha commentary, Volume I, 2004: Chaukhambha Sanskrit Pratishthan, p. 408). The meaning taken by the commentator is गत्यर्थ, which is also प्राप्त्यर्थ in accordance with ये गत्यर्थास्ते प्राप्त्यर्थाः.

Namste Shastriji,

Bhishma says in the Mahabharata that there is no sanction for animal sacrifice in Yajnas. It is only the "Dhoortas" or cunning people, who introduced that (obviously by misinterpreting the Vedic texts). We have to keep this mind while looking at the so called reports on killing of animals in yajna.
