The ram does not appear in America because no such animal was known there. The nearest substitute was the llama.
"Round her fair brow the lovely-tressed Hours A garland twined of Spring's purpureal flowers: The whole attire Minerva's graceful art Disposed, adjusted, form'd to every part." Later, however, Pandora herself becomes the pourer forth of ills on the head of defenceless man.
For this reason, none but a Brahmana, conversant with the Vedas and skilled in all sacrifices should become the pourer of sacrificial libations. They who are conversant with the scriptures say that the man who, having kindled the sacrificial fire, does not give away the dedicated food as Dakshina, is not the kindler of a sacrificial fire.
Concerning Sadi, Sadim, or Shaddai, Higgins remarks: "Parkhurst tells us it means all-bountiful the pourer forth of blessings; among the Heathen, the Dea Multimammia; in fact the Diana of Ephesus, the Urania of Persia, the Jove of Greece, called by Orpheus the Mother of the Gods, each male as well as female the Venus Aphrodite; in short, the genial powers of Nature."
But we have also names like ramku and nisakku, 'libation pourer, which emphasize the sacrificial functions of the priest; and in an interesting list of temple servitors, 'the dirge singers' are introduced as a special class, and appropriately designated as munambû, 'wailer, and lallaru, 'howler. Of some terms in this list, like asinnu, it is doubtful whether they indicate a special class of priests or are terms for servitors in general, attached to a temple; in the case of others, like nâsh pilakki, 'ax carrier, we do not know exactly of what nature the service was.
While the limbs of the sacrifice were spread out, the Ritwijas became busy in accomplishing the diverse rites ordained in the scriptures. The pourer of libations, possessed of every qualification, became engaged in pouring libations of clarified butter. The great Rishis were seated around.
I drank a good deal of it, not all I wanted by any means, but as much as the pourer would allow, then raised myself upon my hands and looked. The starlight was extraordinarily clear in that pure desert atmosphere, and by it I saw the face of Sergeant Quick bending over me.
