Adhyaya 20 - Chaturhotri (The Four Priest Recitations)

This Adhyaya contains the Chaturhotri mantras — special formulas recited by the four principal priests (Hotri, Adhvaryu, Udgatri, and Brahman) during the sacrifice. These mantras invoke the deities to witness and accept the offering. The chapter emphasizes the coordination and harmony required among the priests for successful ritual performance.
