Information about Atiratram

[sadasivamurty rani]

Can any learned scholars extend information about the Atiratra Yaga? What is Atiratra Yaga? How is it performed? Is it confined now only to the Samavedic Brahmins of Kerala Nabudri families as mentioned in the Wikipedia and other such sources? What is the reality? Please help in this regard. Pranams to all, Dr. Rani Sadasiva Murty

Dear Dr. rani,

I am no learned scholar in Vedic ritual. But it was compulsory for many like me to know the preliminaries of the Vedic sacrifice both at home and the University. But I caution that I did not make any special research on Vedic sacrifice excepting on the Agnyādheya and its closely related Tantric and Buddhist variations.

It was learned at home that there are seven saṃsthās of the somayāgas -- agniṣṭoma, atyaginiṣṭoma, ukthya, ṣoḍaśī, vājapeya, atirātra and aptor yāma. There are 25 śastras and stotras in the atirātra, an ekāha somasaṃsthā, the 6^th in the order of counting. So much my home learning. Later Paṭṭābhirāma Śāstrī confirmed this at the university, but his order varied. Details available in the History of Dharmaśāstra II, ŚB.41.17---, Ap. Ś. Sūtra 14.3 etc vary between themselves in detail. A close-fitting lucid description will be found also in Cinnasvāmī Śāstī’s Yajñatattvaprakāśa but its reading must be preceded by that of the first saṃsthā that is Agniṣṭoma on which the Atirātra is modeled.

Does this help?

Best

Respected Professor Sadasivamurty, 

"Atiratra" is also called "Agni". Currently there is an "Atiratra" at Bhadrachalam, in A.P. A few Namputiris from middle Kerala are there. The course of time is 12 days. It started six days ago, I think. There are some general information. There is a practical text regarding all types of istis and satras published in Malayalam by Vedaratnam Brahmasri Late Erkkara Raaman Namputiri in the early nineteen seventies. I have seen a bit of description from it, but I didn't read it in full. The Ekaahaahiinasatra is one among Erkkara's monumental works in this regard. But there are no translations in any other languages. 

Here are some glimpse from the Atiratra. Seventeen  priests are required for performing the ‘Agni’.  First day- The Yajamana and his priests enter into the ritual enclosure carrying three sacred fires in pots. The ‘Ukha pot’, the main ritual vessel is prepared from clay. An animal sacrifice is performed for Vayu. The five chief priests (adhvaryu, brahman, hota, udgata, and sadasya) are officially selected. Fire is produced by friction. An isti is performed and is followed by the consecration of (diksa) of the Yajamana (a turban is tied around his head, he is protected by a golden breast plate, he is given a staff and he closes his fists and deprived of speaking (except for recitations), from bathing etc. The Yajamana picks up the Ukha pot, which is filled with fire, and takes three steps with it. 

Second day-The mahavira pot, main ritual vessel of the pravargya, is prepared from clay.

Third day-A sacrificial pole is made. To the east of the old enclosure , in which the three altars have already been made, the measurements of the mahavedi and of the bird-shaped offering altar are laid out.

Fourth day-The new domestic altar replaces the old offering altar one. The adhvaryu consecrates each brick. The fire from Ukha pot is added to the installed fire An introductory isti is performed .The ‘purchased’ Soma  stalks are measured , transport in Somacart on the bullock skin. King soma is installed on a throne and an isti is performed in honor of him .Except Yajamana and chanters, sprinkle Soma. The Indra , god’s etc is invited to attend the forth -coming Soma pressing . The first pavargya and Upasad are performed. The seeds are sown in the plowed ground and  buried several items like tortoise, the Ukha pot, The hiranmaya Purusha etc...The construction of bird shaped altar started with a stone at the center. All bricks  are consecrated by adhvryu. The Pravargya and Upsad  performed.

Fifth day to Seventh day-After the morning pravargya and Upasa , the second, third, fourth layer of the altar is laid on respective days. The evening  Pravargya and Upsad  follows.

Eighth day-After the morning Pravargya and Upasad ,the fifth layer is laid with svayamatranna in the center. The Yajamana wishes the bricks to turn into cows. Offerings are made to Rudra. The udgata chants around the bird, and a man pours continuous stream of water around the bird, three times. The evening  Pravargya and Upsad  follows.

Ninth  day-After the morning and evening Pravargya and Upasad , The implements used in the pravargya are putdown on the new altar in the shape of a man .The agni from new domestic altar is installed on the new offering altar. Long continuos oblation of  ghee is made followed by other oblation and offerings. The hall of recitation is made .The animal sacrifice is performed. 

Tenth to Twelfth day-The ceremonies from tenth day will continue throughout out the next two days and nights. The tenth day is known as sutya. Pressing of soma begins after the hota’s morning recital and Soma oblations are offered. Some priests including Yajamana crawl in snake like procession  on to altar for offering. In the north of altar the three chant bahispavamana-stothra. Numerous rites are performed simultaneously .Fires are installed in hearths in the recital hall also. Eleven animals are sacrificed( 1975 ,only  symbolic).Except Acchavaka Soma juice in the sadas. and  hota recites sastra recitation. .Like this four Soma sequence are performed. Soma offering is made into the offering fire. During the pressing on  the mid day, gravastut recites Rgveda verses with blind folded cloth in which Soma was wrapped. .The Yajamana is anointed .
The remaining 14 Soma sequences continue through eleventh day ,night  up to the dawn of twelfth day. On the twelfth day unnetha priest make two Soma offering for Indra Ancestral  rites are performed. The Yajamana and Yajamanapathni take avabhratha bath followed by a concluding isti is performed and final goat is sacrificed (1975 ,only symbolic). The Yajamana installs three fires on his home after returning to the home .He perform morning and evening Agnihothra for the rest of his life!

Dear Sri Sadasiva Murty Garu!

• Atiraatra is one of the  7 Variants of Somayaagas. (Sapta Soma Samstha).
  
• Anyone can perform is in the sequential order; Agnishtoma, Atyagnishtoma, Ukthya, Atiraatra, Aptoryaama, Vaajapeya, Poundareeka ... thus goes the list.
  
• Going by your sentence quoting Wiki, that it is confined to Samavedis of Kerala; the fear of BVK Sastry, seems to come true. If scholars like most of us are misled by some half baked information provided on Wiki, which is never authenticated; anyone can be carried/ swayed over by the info from internet. We should speed up the compilation of basic information.

Namaste,
Yagna & Yaaga are different. Yaaga doesnt has predefined set
of rules. Just some guidelines about yaga will be there. The
Nirdheshaka has to be well versed in Yaaga Sutras which requires
hundreds of years of Chaturveda Adhyayana, Tantra Sutra perfection,
study the reports of previous Yaagas that has been Earthed after
completion of Yaaga.
More on the yaagas:

http://veda-vijnana.blogspot.in/2012/03/yagna-yaaga-sutras-part-1.html
(More about Atiratra is to be continued in next part of the post)

Atiraatra is one among the 7 Soma Yaagas. Its not a name of single
Yaaga. There are several types of Atiraatras. It has to be performed
over night. So usually Atiraatra Yaagas have the rituals covering
whole day & night for several days to months according to the Yaaga
Samyojana Vidhi.

Atiraatra Vidhi has been formulated by Manduka Rushis, its difficult
to write about the procedure here.

Yaaga procedure is not confined to any region, sect, or individual.
But it can be performed only by great enlightened Saadhakas. Yaaga is
not a kid play. A small irresponsibility will adversely affect the
nature as it will be dealing with the core elements of nature.

Is this because we do not know or is this a clever way for trying to hide our ignorance?

With this statement are we not cleverly trying to cover-up our own ignorance !? Essentially, above statement admits the impossible goal of studying for anyone's lifetime. (Humanly impossible).

Both of the above statements 100% corroborate with the "Information Theory" Science. That states, "Information that is certain at the beginning tends to become uncertain with the passage of time"

Rather than going into the mathematical model and explanation one can illustrate the point by with the help of Pyramids.  People who constructed them knew exactly how to construct them, however, that specific information is lost and we really do not know the entire procedure. Present day engineers are still trying to figure out the puzzle.

The progression of Information Theory was a strand for curious mind that classified the entire information as pieces of "BITS" which could then be re-evaluated by improving the Signal to Noise ratio (S/N).

We all know that all Vedic Suuktaa's have R^iShi, devataa, and chhanda, biut no one wants to talk about the viniyoga aspects.  (Utility of that sukta).

Shaunaka in bR^hdevataa states  -

aviditvaa R^iShiM chha.ndo devataaM yogameva ca |
yo.adhyaapayejjapedvapi paapiyaajjaayate tusaH ||

I have a sincere request to all scholars who can help despairer the puzzle (in the form for bits) of that hidden knowledge rather than becoming or remaining "vidaa.nti (as - tadarvi paakarasam yathaaH)" and gloat and glorify the "vedanta" and forget why our ancestors possibly documented their observations in the form of Veda (knowledge).

Looking for guidance and possible leads about individuals who may be in a position to help me get in touch with those individuals.

As I have mentioned on this list before that I am on the EXIT Ramp of my life span and what legacy are we going to leave for the future generations. We can just gloat about the Sanskrit scholarship, Vedanta and lock ourselves in the ivory towers with total disregard to the Utility of Veda for practical application at the present.

With a sincere appeal to scholars for help,

Dr Yadu

धन्यवादाः ।

’क्रान्तादि’ इति दृष्ट्वा अन्यमेकं प्रश्नं स्मृत्वा सम्प्रति पृच्छामि - ’कविः क्रान्तदर्शी’ इति उक्तिः श्रुता मया । ’क्रान्त’शब्दस्य कोऽर्थः?  तत्र स किं केवल्म् अतिक्रान्तविषयदर्शने समर्थः उत भविष्यमाण(अनतिक्रान्त?)विषयदर्शनेऽपि ? कृपया अत्र स्पष्टीकुर्वन्तु इति प्रार्थये -

क्रमु पादविक्षेपे इति धातोः क्रमणमर्थः। वर्तमानमतिक्रान्तं भूतम्, भविष्यद् वा विषयजातं पश्यतीति  कवेः क्रान्तदर्शित्वम् इति। वर्तमानं तु प्रत्यक्षविषयमेव नातिक्रान्तमिति न तत्र क्रान्तत्वाभावेऽपि न क्षतिः, सर्वस्यापि वर्तमानस्य प्रत्यक्षस्य विषयीकरणं न वैशिष्ट्यम्। कवेस्तु वैशिष्ट्यमितरासाधाराणत्वात्, इतरजनसामान्यात् वर्तमानाभिज्ञत्वमनुक्तसिद्धमेव। प्रतिभारूपेण चक्षुषा वर्तमान-भूत-भविषत्-विषयजातस्य विषयीकरणात् तस्य क्रान्तदर्शित्वम्,

प्रज्ञा नवनवोन्मेषशालिनी प्रतिभा मता । 

सा हि चक्षुर्भगवतस्तृतीयमिति गीयते।

अत एव क्रान्तदर्शित्वं कवेः।
