[Advaita-l] vedic yajna

[Rajaram Venkataramani]

This question for Shri Vidyasankar. As far as I know, sthAlipAka yajna does
not involve animal sacrifice. Is there any reason why this involves animal
sacrifice? Does 6.4.19 say that this is an extension to sthalipaka yajna or
does it say that sthAlipaka yajna should be performed the next day? If it
is the latter, then this should be different from sthAlipaka yajna. is it
not?
