Yajnas, or fire rituals, formed an integral part of life in the Vedic culture, going back to 1500 BCE or earlier, and extending until about the sixth century BCE. Some of these concerned sacrifices to be performed regularly by a householder (gṛhastha), while performance of certain others was prescribed for bringing about fulfilment of specific aims or desires, which included both material (acquiring cows, vanquishing an enemy etc.) and transcendental (securing place in heaven) aspects.
