dn5:14.0 4.3. Four More Accessories
dn5:14.1 And the brahmin high priest had four factors.
dn5:14.2 He was well born on both his mother’s and father’s side, stemming from a clean vessel, with irrefutable and impeccable genealogy back to the seventh paternal generation.
dn5:14.3 He recited and remembered the hymns, and had mastered the three Vedas, together with their vocabularies and ritual performance, their phonology and word classification, and the testaments as fifth. He knew them word-by-word, and their grammar. He was well versed in cosmology and the marks of a great man.
dn5:14.4 He was ethical, mature in ethical conduct.
dn5:14.5 He was astute, competent, and intelligent, being the first or second to hold the sacrificial ladle.
dn5:14.6 These are the four factors that the brahmin high priest possessed.
dn5:14.7 And so these four factors also became accessories to the sacrifice.
