51. Which among the following statement is correct
regarding rituals in later Vedic period
1) Rituals became important in society. It was believed
that rituals and sacrifices could solve many problems.
The rituals became more complex, required more
resources, and took longer time. This indirectly reflects
the demand for rituals and the formation of elite groups
who could spend more resources on rituals and
sacrifices.
2) The correct performance of rituals was stressed.
Stress was laid on paying dakshina. Numerous rituals
were prescribed for solving all kinds of day-to-day
problems. The resort to rituals and sacrifices as a
solution for problems led to the view that material
wealth could achieve anything.
3) The ideas in the Yajur-Veda argue against such a
view, and stress the importance of realising the atman
or inner self. Such degeneration of rituals and the
material-oriented nature of the priests created
dissension and led to the development of heterodox
faiths such as Buddhism and Jainism which emphasized
correct human behaviour and discipline.

Winmeen Test Sheets
2) Teacher-pupil relationship was cultivated through
person-oriented training. The development of Vedic
texts and the importance given to pronunciation,
grammar and oral transmission suggest training in
utterances and memorization, as part of the Vedic
system of education.
3) The development of various types of texts could be
considered as developing solutions for certain mundane
issues and a quest for knowledge. They lay stress on
knowledge and the realization of the self or atman and
Brahman (the Supreme Being), meditation, cycle of
birth and death. They convey the ideas of karma, and
good conduct, self-restraint, mercy and generosity as
virtues. Despite the ritual dominated aspects of Vedic

1) The pottery was fine grey in colour with painted

are identical to those found in the stone burials.
2) The end of Megalithic burial practice is assigned to
third-second centuries CE. During this period Pali
writing akin to Vippasi has been discovered in
Adichanallur (Thoothukudi District). There is also
