Pṛsadajya
From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia
By Swami Harshananda
Pṛsadajya literally means ‘speckled ghee’.
In Paśuyāgas[1] the pṛṣadājya is an important ingredient that is used to sprinkle over the heart of the animal immolated. It is actually a mixture of ājya or ghee sprinkled with curdled milk. The details of its preparation and use are generally dealt with in the Śrautasutras.[2][3]
